The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 March 2013 (7) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and it has the potential to improve the final body weight, the feed to gain ratio and the average daily gain.

As a result, Daily Live Weight Gain (DLWG) is reduced and the number of days to slaughter is increased.

Depending on the properties of the additive, outcome measures may be based either on performance characteristics (e.g. feed efficiency, average daily gain, increasing of animal products), carcass composition, herd performance, reproduction parameters or animal welfare.
