COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1964

of 9 November 2016

concerning the authorisations of a preparation of dolomite-magnesite for dairy cows and other ruminants for dairy production, weaned piglets and pigs for fattening and a preparation of montmorillonite-illite for all animal species as feed additives

(Text with EEA relevance)







Article 1

The preparation specified in the Annex I, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘anti-caking agents’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

The preparation specified in the Annex II, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional groups ‘anti-caking agents’ and ‘binders’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.









ANNEX I







Identification number of the additive Additive Chemical formula, description, methods of analysis Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation mg of additive/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % Technological additives: anti-caking agents 1g598 Dolomite-Magnesite Additive composition Preparation of natural mixture of: dolomite and magnesite ≥ 40 % (having a minimum content of: carbonates 24 %). Characterisation of the active substance Dolomite: CAS number 16389-88-1 (CaMg)(CO3)2 Magnesite: CAS number 546-93-0 MgCO3 Talc (hydrated silicates of magnesium): CAS number 14807-96-6 Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 Talc ≥ 35 % Chlorite (aluminium–magnesium): CAS number 1318-59-8 (Mg,Fe,Al)6(Si, Al)4O10(OH)8 Iron (structural) 6 % (average) Chlorite ≥ 16 % Free of quartz and asbestos Analytical method (1) Characterisation of the feed additive: — X-ray diffraction (XRD), together with — atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Dairy cows and other ruminants for dairy production Weaned piglets Pigs for fattening — 5 000 20 000 1. For use in weaned piglets until 35 kg. 2. In the labelling of the additive and premixtures containing it, the following shall be indicated: ‘The additive dolomite-magnesite is rich in (inert) iron’. 3. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from its use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection. 30 November 2026 ( 1 ) Details of the analytical methods are available at the following address of the Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/eurl/feed-additives/evaluation-reports
