Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the efficacy of copper(II)-betaine complex as a nutritional feed additive for all species and categories. In a previous opinion, the FEEDAP Panel characterised the feed additive and concluded that it is safe for the target animals, consumers, and the environment when used up to the maximum authorised levels of copper in the diets. With regard to the safety of users, the additive is considered irritant to the eyes and a skin and respiratory sensitiser. In the current submission, the applicant provided a new efficacy study in chickens for fattening to support the efficacy of the additive. The data submitted provided evidence that the additive is a bioavailable source of copper and thus, the FEEDAP Panel concludes that the additive is efficacious as a source of copper for all animal species.
应欧盟委员会的要求，动物饲料添加剂及产品或物质专家小组（FEEDAP）被要求就铜（II）-甜菜碱络合物作为所有动物种类和类别的营养性饲料添加剂的功效发表科学意见。在之前的一份意见中，FEEDAP专家小组对该饲料添加剂进行了特性描述，并得出结论：当在日粮中使用至铜的最大授权水平时，它对目标动物、消费者和环境是安全的。关于使用者的安全性，该添加剂被认为对眼睛有刺激性，是皮肤和呼吸道致敏剂。在本次提交的材料中，申请人提供了一项新的育肥鸡功效研究，以支持该添加剂的功效。提交的数据证明该添加剂是铜的生物可利用来源，因此，FEEDAP专家小组得出结论，该添加剂作为所有动物物种的铜源是有效的。
