The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the additive under assessment is safe up to the maximum proposed use levels of 400 mg/kg for chickens for fattening and other growing poultry, 600 mg/kg for laying hens and other laying/breeding birds kept for egg production/reproduction, 540 mg/kg for turkeys for fattening, 720 mg/kg for piglets, 860 mg/kg for pigs for fattening and other growing Suidae, 1,050 mg/kg for sows, 1,680 mg/kg for veal calves (milk replacer), 1,580 mg/kg for cattle for fattening and other growing ruminants, 1,030 mg/kg for dairy cows and other dairy ruminants, 1,580 mg/kg for sheep, goats, horses, 630 mg/kg for rabbits, 1,810 mg/kg for salmonids and other fin fish, 1,900 mg/kg for dogs and 3,000 mg/kg for ornamental fish...
