Additive composition

Preparation of benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid having a minimum content of:

  • Benzoic acid: 42,5-50 %

  • Calcium formate: 2,5-3,5 %

  • Fumaric acid: 0,8-1,2 %

Granulated form

Characterisation of the active substance

benzoic acid CAS number: 65-85-0 (≥ 99,0 % purity); C7H6O2

calcium formate: CAS number 544-17-2; C2H2O4Ca;

fumaric acid (≥ 99,5 % purity): CAS number 110-17-8; C4H4O4.

Analytical method a

For the determination of benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid in the feed additive:

  • high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV)

For the determination of total calcium in the feed additive:

  • atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) – EN ISO 6869; or

  • inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) – EN 15510

For the determination of benzoic acid in premixtures and feedingstuffs:

  • high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV)

For the determination of calcium formate and fumaric acid in premixtures:

  • ion-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography with UV or refractive index detection (HPLC-UV/RI)

1.In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.

2.The additive shall not be used with other sources of benzoic acid or benzoates, calcium formate or formate and fumaric acid.

3.For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks concerning their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection.
