This follows are request from the European Commission to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of the additive when used as a feed additive for fattening chickens.
The study found that found that chickens for fattening tolerated a 10-fold overdose of the additive, the EFSA panel concluded that XTRACT is safe for chickens for fattening at the maximum proposed dose (100 mg/kg complete feed).
XTRACT has the potential to be efficacious in chickens for fattening at the recommended dose of 100 mg/kg complete feed. The use of additive under the proposed conditions does not affect the sensory properties of meat from chickens.
