By: Prosol S.p.A. Biosprint is a zootechnical feed additive consisting of a dried preparation of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (MUCL 39885). This yeast for animal nutrition was already authorized in previous opinions for use in feed for piglets, cattle for fattening, dairy cows, horses and sows and now the active yeast has been finally approved by EFSA for use in minor ruminant species for meat and milk production: the EU in fact approved the use of Biosprint as a zootechnical additive (functional group: gut flora stabilisers) Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered by EFSA to be suitable for the QPS approach to safety assessment. As the identity of the production strain has been established and as the additive essentially consists of only the active agent, safety for the target species, the consumer and the environment is presumed. The efficacy of the additive has been already demonstrated for dairy cows and cattle for fattening, which are considered the relevant major species. As the mechanism of action of the additive has been consideredto be the same, efficacy for minor ruminant species used for milk and/or for fattening when used at minimum doses established for the major species has been presumed without the need for specific studies. This would be 2 × 109 CFU/kg feed for minor dairy ruminants and 4 × 109 CFU/kg feed for minor ruminants for fattening. Biosprint is produced by Prosol Spa. Prosol is an italian company located in Madone, engaged designing and manufacturing of innovative ingredients for both the food industry and for the livestock sector. Thanks to its experience in the field of yeast knowledge and processing, Prosol has selected a specific active Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for animal feed marketed under the name BIOSPRINT. The selected strain is proprietary and stored at the Mycothèque de l'Université For technical information about EFSA Scientific opinion visit http://www.efsa.europa.eu/ For further information about Biosprint, please contact: Mrs. N.
