Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of ATCC PTA-6737 (PB6) as a zootechnical feed additive. With the current application, the applicant is seeking the renewal of the authorisation for laying hens and minor poultry species for laying. In addition, the applicant is seeking the modification of the terms of the existing authorisation to obtain the authorisation of a more concentrated form of the additive (from 1 × 10 to 8 × 10 colony forming units (CFU)) and the authorisation of the additive for other birds kept for egg production or breeding. The evidence provided showed that the additive complies with the new specifications and the current terms of the authorisation. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the additive is safe for laying hens, birds kept for egg production or breeding, the consumer and the environment. Regarding safety for the user, the additive is not irritant to the skin and eyes but should be considered a skin and respiratory sensitiser and inhalation and dermal exposure is considered a risk. The additive has the potential to be efficacious in other birds kept for egg production or breeding at the minimum inclusion level of 1 × 10 CFU/kg complete feed.
应欧盟委员会的要求，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）被要求就一种由ATCC PTA - 6737（PB6）组成的饲料添加剂作为动物营养饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。在本次申请中，申请人寻求更新蛋鸡和小型产蛋家禽品种的授权。此外，申请人正在寻求修改现有授权条款，以获得一种更浓缩形式添加剂（从1×10到8×10菌落形成单位（CFU））的授权，以及该添加剂用于其他用于产蛋或繁殖的禽类的授权。所提供的证据表明，该添加剂符合新规范和当前授权条款。饲料添加剂和动物营养产品专家小组得出结论，该添加剂对蛋鸡、用于产蛋或繁殖的禽类、消费者和环境是安全的。关于对使用者的安全性，该添加剂对皮肤和眼睛无刺激性，但应被视为皮肤和呼吸道致敏剂，吸入和皮肤接触被视为有风险。该添加剂在其他用于产蛋或繁殖的禽类中，以最低添加水平1×10 CFU/kg全价饲料使用时，具有有效的可能性。
