Fefana establishes three new consortia

The European Feed Additives and Premixtures Association (FEFANA) has recently established three new consortia to support the industry in obtaining EU authorisation for existing additives.

These three consortia are focusing on two technological additives categories, acids and their salts (ACIAC EEIG) which covers both preservative and silage function and silage additives enzymes and micro-organisms (SILAC EEIG), and one nutritional additive category, the trace elements (TREAC EEIG).

Each grouping has defined objective criteria in order to bring specific additives under the scope of work of the grouping, based upon the interest and commitment of its members.

The consortia are open to non-FEFANA members.

As with the other consortia that were previously established, the working list of these new groups (i.e. the precise list of additives on which it is working) are open for a while in order to adapt to the need of new members.
