Description
What it is. Microbial preparation based on viable spores of Bacillus velezensis ATCC PTA-6737, containing at least 8 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g, in solid form. The additive is produced by Kemin Europa N.V. and classified among gut flora stabilisers (functional group 4b).
What it is for. It is used as a gut flora stabiliser in poultry (chickens for fattening, chickens and turkeys reared for breeding or laying, minor poultry species, ornamental birds) and in pigs (pigs for fattening, piglets, sows of all Suidae species). The recommended minimum content in complete feed varies by species: 1 × 10⁸ CFU/kg for poultry for laying or reproduction and for turkeys, 1 × 10⁷ CFU/kg for pigs for fattening and piglets. An EFSA evaluation on turkeys also examined a request to extend use to all growing poultry and a possible increase in the use level, without this being a fixed recommendation.
Points to watch. In pigs, the additive may only be combined with a limited list of coccidiostats (diclazuril, robenidine hydrochloride, sodium lasalocid A, maduramicin ammonium, sodium monensin, decoquinate, sodium salinomycin, narasin, narasin/nicarbazin, halofuginone), subject to their respective authorisation conditions. Storage conditions and stability to heat treatment must be stated in the instructions for use of the additive and premixtures. Personal protective equipment (respiratory and skin protection) is required where risks from handling cannot be eliminated through organisational measures.
