Description
What it is. Bacillus velezensis CECT 5940 (formerly named Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940) is a feed additive consisting of a solid preparation of spores of this bacterial strain, containing a guaranteed minimum concentration expressed in CFU/g of additive.
What it is for. It belongs to functional group 4b, intestinal flora stabilisers, and is intended for poultry: chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying, and poultry for laying. It is used to support gut microbiota balance in these production contexts. It may be combined in feed with the authorised coccidiostats diclazuril, monensin-sodium or nicarbazine.
Points to watch. Storage conditions and stability under heat treatment must be stated in the instructions for use of the additive and premix. Risk-management procedures and organisational measures are required for operators handling the additive and premixes; where risks cannot be eliminated, personal protective equipment covering respiratory and skin protection is mandatory. Authorisation periods and the scope of covered poultry categories have been updated by subsequent implementing acts, with transitional provisions for stock already produced and labelled.
