COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGUL ATION (EU) No 1109/2014 
of 20 Oct ober 2014 
concer ning the author isation of the preparation of Sacc haromy ces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 as a feed 
additiv e for cattle for fattening, minor ruminant species for fattening, dair y cows and minor dair y 
ruminant species and amending Regulations (EC) No 1288/2004 and (EC) No 1811/2005 (holder of 
author isation Alltech France) 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regar d to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 
on additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting such author isation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evalu ­
ation of additives author ised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). 
(2)  The preparation of Sacchar omyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 was author ised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC 
without a time limit as a feed additive for calves and cattle for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) 
No 1288/2004 (3) and for dair y cows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1811/2005 (4). That preparation was 
subsequently entered in the Registe r of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) 
of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That preparation was author ised for a period of 10 years for horses by 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 886/2009 (5). 
(3)  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and in conjunction with Article 7 of the 
same Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the preparation of Saccharom yces cerevisiae 
CBS 493.94 as a feed additive for cattle for fattening, minor ruminant species for fattening, dair y cows and minor 
dair y ruminant species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive categor y ‘zoot echnical additives ’. 
That application was accompan ied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation 
(EC) No 1831/2003. 
(4)  The European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Author ity’) concluded in its opinion of 8 Apr il 2014 (6) that, under the 
proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Saccharomy ces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 does not have an adverse 
effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Author ity also concluded that the use of the 
preparation has the pote ntial to increase milk yield of dair y cows and that its effic acy can be extrapolat ed to 
minor dair y ruminant species. The Auth ority further concluded that the use of the preparation has the poten tial 
to improve the production of cattle raised for fattening and that this efficacy can be extrapolat ed to minor rumi ­
nant species raised for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specifi c requirements of 
post-market monitori ng. It also verified the repor t on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed 
submitte d by the Reference Laborat ory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(5) The assessment of the preparation of Saccharom yces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 shows that the conditions for author isa­
tion, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfi ed. According ly, the use of that 
preparation should be author ised as specif ied in the Annex to this Regulation. 21.10.2014 L 301/19 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN

(2)Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concer ning additives in feed ingstuffs (OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1). 
(3)Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 of 14 July 2004 concer ning the permanent author isation of certain additives and the provi­
sional author isation of a new use of an additive already author ised in feedingstuffs (OJ L 243, 15.7.2004, p. 10). 
(4)Commission Regulation (EC) No 1811/2005 of 4 November 2005 concer ning the provisional and permanent author isations of certain 
additives in feedingstuffs and the provisional author isation of a new use of an additive already author ised in feedingstuffs (OJ L 291, 
5.11.2005, p. 12). 
(5)Commission Regulation (EC) No 886/2009 of 25 September 2009 concer ning the author isation of the preparation Sacchar omyces cerevi ­
siae CBS 493.94 as a feed additive for horses (holder of author isation Alltec h France) (OJ L 254, 26.9.2009, p. 66). 
(6)EFSA Journal 2014; 12(5):3666. (6)  Regulations (EC) No 1288/2004 and (EC) No 1811/2005 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifi cations to the conditions of author isa­
tion, it is appropr iate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new 
requirements resulting from the author isation. 
(8)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGUL ATION:
