Riboflavin produced from Eremothecium ashbyi CCTCCM 2019833, in the form of a dried inactivated fermentation product (3a827)

What it is. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is obtained by fermentation from Eremothecium ashbyi CCTCCM 2019833, as a dried inactivated fermentation product containing at least 5% riboflavin. The additive is solid, with a maximum moisture content of 7%.

What it is for. This additive belongs to the functional group of vitamins and related substances; it is used to meet animals' vitamin B2 requirements, notably involved in energy metabolism. It is authorised for all animal species and is incorporated into premixtures and compound feed through standard formulation practices. Its use fits within a standard nutritional supplementation approach, suited to various livestock sectors.

Points to watch. Storage conditions and stability to heat treatment must be specified in the instructions for use of the additive and premixture, as riboflavin may be sensitive to certain degradation factors. Personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection, is required during handling when risks cannot be controlled through organisational procedures.
