The additive shall be incorporated into the feed in the form of a premixture. 2. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated. 3. On the label of the additive and premixtures the following shall be indicated: ‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance per kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % or milk replacers with a moisture content of 5,5 %: — all animal species except veal calves: 20 mg — veal calves: 80 mg (milk replacers)’. 4. The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated on the label of the premixture, if the content of the active substance in complete feedingstuff specified in point 3 is exceeded. 5. The mixture of Turmeric essential oil with other authorised additives obtained from Curcuma longa L. shall be not be allowed in feedingstuffs. 6. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation, dermal contact or eyes contact. 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, safety glasses and gloves. 20.4.2031
