Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation Additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation
Units of activity/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %
Category of zootechnical additives. Functional group: digestibility enhancers
4a8 Roal Oy Endo-1,4-beta-xylanaseEC 3.2.1.8 
 Additive composition:
Preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 114044) having a minimum activity of:
 solid form: 4 × 106 BXU/g
 liquid form: 4 × 105 BXU/g
 Characterisation of the active substance:
endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 114044)
 Analytical method:
In the additive and the premixture: reducing sugar assay for endo-1,4-beta-xylanase by colorimetric reaction of dinitrosalicylic acid reagent on reducing sugar yield at pH 5,3 and 50 °C
In the feedingstuffs: colorimetric method measuring water soluble dye released by the enzyme from azurine crosslinked wheat arabinoxylan substrate Piglets(weaned) — 24 000 BXU — 
1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, indicate the storage temperature, storage life, and stability to pelleting.

2. For piglets (weaned) up to 35 kg of body weight.

3. For use in compound feed rich in non-starch polysaccharides (mainly arabinoxylans), e.g. containing more than 20 % wheat.

4. For safety reasons: breathing protection, glasses and gloves shall be used during handling.
