Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of l-arginine produced with Corynebacterium glutamicumCCTCC M 20232577 for all animal species (Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).

CCTCC M 20232577 in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumers and for the environment. Regarding the safety for the user, owing to the lack of data, the FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the potential of the additive to be irritant to skin and/or eyes and to be a potential skin sensitiser. The additive is regarded as an effective source of the amino acid l-arginine for all non-ruminant species. To be as efficacious in ruminants as in non-ruminants, it should be protected from ruminal degradation.
