Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally made).

Regulation 3(1)

SCHEDULE 3Authorisation of a preparation of serine protease (EC 3.4.21.-) produced by Bacillus licheniformis DSM 19670 (identification number 4a13) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening

The preparation specified in the table, belonging to the additive category “zootechnical additives” and to the functional group “digestibility enhancers”, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions set out in the table.

(1)

One PROT is the amount of serine protease that liberates one micromole/minute of para-nitroaniline (pNA) from 1 millimolar (mM) Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA substrate at pH 9 & 37°C.
