Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation Additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation
mg/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %
Category of zootechnical additives. Functional group: other zootechnical additives (improvement of performance parameters: weight gain or feed gain ratio)
4d210 Emerald Kalama Chemical BV Benzoic acid

Additive composition

Benzoic acid (≥ 99,9 %)

Characterisation of the active substance

Benzenecarboxylic acid, phenylcarboxylic acid, C₇H₆O₂

CAS number 65-85-0

Maximum level in:

Phthalic acid: ≤ 100 mg/kg

Biphenyl: ≤ 100 mg/kg

Analytical method ^f1

Quantification of benzoic acid in the feed additive: titration with sodium hydroxide (European Pharmacopeia monograph 0066)

Quantification of benzoic acid in the premixture and feedingstuff: Reversed Phase Liquid chromatography with UV detection (RP-HPLC/UV) — method based on ISO9231:2008

Piglets

(weaned)
— — 5 000
1.

The mixture of different sources of benzoic acid must not exceed the permitted maximum level in complete feedingstuff of 5 000 mg/kg of complete feed.

2.

Recommended minimum dose: 5 000 mg/kg of complete feed.

3.

Complementary feed containing benzoic acid must not be fed directly to weaned piglets, unless thoroughly mixed with other feed materials of the daily ration.

4.

For weaned piglets up to 25 kg.

5.

For safety: it is recommended to use breathing protection and gloves during handling.
