Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of xylanase (produced with DSM 25376) and β-glucanase (produced with DSM 26469) (ENZY CARBOPLUS®) for all poultry (Kaesler Nutrition GmbH).

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of xylanase (produced with DSM 25376) and β-glucanase (produced with DSM 26469) (ENZY CARBOPLUS®) as a zootechnical feed additive (functional group: digestibility enhancers). The additive is already authorised for use in feed for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying, turkeys for fattening and all avian species reared for laying or breeding purposes. The applicant requested a modification of the terms of the current authorisation for chickens for fattening and reared for laying, as well as an extension of use to all poultry. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive is safe for all poultry. The use of the additive is considered safe for the consumers and the environment. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive is not a skin or eye irritant nor a dermal sensitiser, but it is considered a respiratory sensitiser. The Panel concluded that the additive has the potential to be efficacious as a zootechnical additive for all poultry under the proposed conditions of use.
