additives for some anima l species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415

ruminants with a non -functional rumen from the scope of the authorisation;  
• concerning the entry 1a263 on calcium acetate, the text under the heading 
'Characterisation of the active substance' is corrected to delete an erroneous entry 
related to iron.
