Article 1The preparation specified in the Annex, 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 laid down in that Annex.
Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.ANNEX
1 TXU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 5 micromole of reducing sugars (xylose equivalents) from wheat arabinoxylan per minute at pH 3,5 and 55 °C.1 TGU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole of reducing sugars (glucose equivalents) from barley ß-glucan per minute at pH 3,5 and 40 °C.Details of the analytical methods are available at the following address of the Reference Laboratory: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/eurl/feed-additives/evaluation-reportsCategory of zootechnical additives.
