1. In the category ‘technological additives’, the following functional groups are included: (a) preservatives: substances or, when applicable, micro-organisms which protect feed against deterioration caused by micro-organisms or their metabolites; (b) antioxidants: substances prolonging the storage life of feedingstuffs and feed materials by protecting them against deterioration caused by oxidation; (c) emulsifiers: substances that make it possible to form or maintain a homogeneous mixture of two or more immiscible phases in feedingstuffs; (d) stabilisers: substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of feedingstuffs; (e) thickeners: substances which increase the viscosity of feedingstuffs; (f) gelling agents: substances which give a feedingstuff texture through the formation of a gel; (g) binders: substances which increase the tendency of particles of feedingstuffs to adhere; (h) substances for control of radionucleide contamination: substances that suppress absorption of radionucleides or promote their excretion; (i) anticaking agents: substances that reduce the tendency of individual particles of a feedingstuff to adhere; |

In the category ‘nutritional additives’, the following functional groups are included: (a) vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect; (b) compounds of trace elements; (c) amino acids, their salts and analogues; (d) urea and its derivatives. 4. In the category ‘zootechnical additives’, the following functional groups are included: (a) digestibility enhancers: substances which, when fed to animals, increase the digestibility of the diet, through action on target feed materials; (b) gut flora stabilisers: micro-organisms or other chemically defined substances, which, when fed to animals, have a positive effect on the gut flora; (c) substances which favourably affect the environment; (d) other zootechnical additives; |
