Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol monohydrate produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 146008 as a nutritional feed additive for all ruminants. The additive is already authorised for use with chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, other poultry and pigs. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the additive does not give raise to any safety concern regarding the production strain. The additive is safe for cattle for fattening and dairy cows at the maximum recommended use level of 0.1 mg 25-OH-D-3/kg complete feed. This conclusion can be extended to other cattle categories and extrapolated to all ruminant species. The use of 25-OH-D-3 in all ruminants under the proposed conditions of use is considered safe for the consumer. The additive is not irritant to the skin or eyes. No conclusion on its potential to be a skin sensitiser or on its effects on the respiratory system can be reached due to absence of data. The use of the additive under assessment at the recommended conditions of use is considered safe for the environment. 25-OH-D-3 is an efficient source of vitamin D-3 for all ruminants when used according to the proposed conditions of use.
