Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 of 25 April 2008 on detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the preparation and the presentation of applications and the assessment and the authorisation of feed additives (Text with EEA relevance)
After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
Studies shall be provided to determine the ability of the additive to induce cross-resistance to antibiotics used in human or veterinary medicine, to select resistant bacterial strains under field conditions in target species, to give rise to effects on opportunistic pathogens present in the digestive tract, to cause shedding or to excrete zoonotic micro-organisms.
If the active substance(s) possesses antimicrobial activity at the feed concentration level, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for relevant bacterial species shall be determined, according to standardised procedures. Where relevant antimicrobial activity is demonstrated, the ability of the additive to select resistant bacterial strains in vitro and in the target species, and to induce cross-resistance to relevant antibiotics shall be established(1).
Tests at the recommended use level shall be provided for all microbial additives, and for those other additives in which an effect on the gut micro-flora can be anticipated. These studies shall demonstrate that use of the additive does not create conditions conducive to an overgrowth and shedding of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms.
The choice of micro-organisms to be monitored will depend on the target species, but shall include relevant zoonotic species, regardless of whether or not they produce symptoms in target animals.
