There is no requirement to include the name of the holder of this authorisation as this authorisation does not fall within the scope of Article 9(5) of Regulation (EC) 1831/2003.
The categories of silage are easy to ensile forage: >3% soluble carbohydrates in fresh material (e.g. whole plant maize, ryegrass, brome grass or sugar beet pulp), moderately difficult to ensile forage: 1.5–3% soluble carbohydrates in the fresh material (e.g. meadow grass, fescue or wilted alfalfa) and difficult to ensile forage: <1.5% soluble carbohydrates in the fresh material (e.g orchard grass or leguminous plants) (see paragraph 1.4 of Annex III of Regulation 429/2008).
