EUROP EAN COMMISSION AUTHORIZED DELACON’S S E CON D P H Y TOG E N I C
ZOOTECHNICAL FEED ADDITIVE On March 9, the European Commission published the authorization of Biostrong®
510
EC as a zootechnical additive. Safety and efficacy of the product have been confirmed for use in chickens and minor avian species, both for fattening and reared for laying. The category of zootechnical additives is seen as the scientific gold standard in the feed additive industry. In the European Union, feed additives are
categorized in five groups. One of them, the zootechnical additives group, encompasses ‘feed additives favourably affecting the animal performance or the environment’. In 2012, Delacon was the first company that received the zootechnical registration for a plant- based, phytogenic feed additive (Fresta®
F
for piglets). On March 9, 2017, the European Commission published the Annex entry in the EU register of authorized Feed Additives of another Delacon product, Biostrong®
510 EC,
as zootechnical feed additive for chickens and minor avian species, both for fattening and reared for laying. The authorization is based on the independent scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the evaluation by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL), two independent authorities that confirmed the safety for workers, animals, consumers and environment, as well as the efficacy on animal performance of Biostrong®
510 EC. With the official authorization of Biostrong®
510 EC as zootechnical additive, Delacon can prove that this product is a science-based solution for performance enhancement. Dr. Antje Holthausen, responsible for Patents and Registration at Delacon, explains: “This zootechnical registration results from our extensive knowledge of modes of action and synergies turned into standardized complex phytogenic products with measurable effects.” Dr. Jan Dirk van der Klis, Director of Products & Innovation adds: “Stakeholders along the value chain can be sure that Delacon products have proven efficacy, and our product claims
for Biostrong®
the European Commission.” Biostrong®
510 EC are now validated by 510 EC is a complex product,
and compared to other zootechnical additives, Biostrong®
510 EC is fully exploiting synergistic
effects of different active substances within plant extracts, and is not reduced to single lead substances. The European zootechnical registration of Biostrong®
510 EC can serve
as a worldwide reference for safety and efficacy. “Wi th our second zootechnical
registration, we prove the Delacon position as pioneer and global leader in phytogenic feed additives”, states Delacon CEO Markus Dedl. “Finally, we all benefit from the science- based approval of all ingredients that enter the food chain. In our recent consumer survey conducted in the United States, we have seen high acceptance of phytogenic feed additives among millennial foodies, showing an untapped opportunity to use phytogenics as powerful differentiator and purchase motivator.”
EUROP E AN PA R L I AMENT CONFIRMS EXCLUSION OF MARKETED FEED FROM WASTE
LEGISLATION The European Parliament has voted through a report on the amendments to the Waste Framework Directive, as part of the Circular Economy Package. EFFPA, FEFAC and PFP are pleased that the European Parliament has kept raw materials placed on the market as feed outside the scope of the Waste Framework Directive as proposed by the European Commission. This confirms that these raw materials are subject to EU feed legislation and official feed controls only. EFFPA, FEFAC and PFP stress that good practices in the feed supply chain as regards feed safety management and traceability ensure an uninterrupted HACCP chain in the conversion of by-products from the food and bioenergy chain into feed. This approach ensures that former
foodstuff processors are fully integrated in the food-to-feed chain and do not operate as ‘(food) waste recyclers’. It remains extremely important for this sector to obtain the legal certainty that when former foodstuffs are placed on the market as feed, this legal status cannot be overturned by environmental authorities based on by-product criteria interpretation of the Waste Framework Directive. The vote in plenary session marks
the negotiation position of the European Parliament. The position of the Council of Ministers is expected during the Estonian EU Council Presidency.
