 Additive composition
Preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Talaromyces versatilis sp. nov. IMI CC 378536 having a minimum activity of:
— solid form: endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase 30 000 VU/g and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase 22 000 VU/g;
— liquid form: endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase activity of 7 500 VU/ml and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase activity of 5 500 VU/ml.
 Characterisation of the active substance
endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Talaromyces versatilis sp. nov. IMI CC 378536
 Analytical method
For the quantification of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase activity:

— viscosimetric method based on decrease in viscosity produced by action of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase on the glucan substrate barley betaglucan at pH = 5,5 and 30 °C.For the quantification of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase actvity:
— viscosimetric method based on decrease in viscosity produced by action of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase on the xylan containing substrate (wheat arabinoxylan) All poultry speciesPiglets(weaned)Pigs for fattening — endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase 1 500 VUendo-1,4-beta-xylanase 1 100 VU — 
1.. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, indicate the storage conditions and stability to pelleting.
2.. For use in (weaned) piglets up to approximately 35 kg.
3.. For safety: breathing protection, glasses and gloves shall be used during handling. 11 April 2024
