欧盟评估一种枯草芽孢杆菌作为猪育肥饲料的安全性和有效性2019年6月6日，据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会要求，欧盟动物饲料添加剂和产品（FEEDAP）研究小组对枯草芽孢杆菌DSM 28343作为猪育肥饲料的安全性和有效性进行了评估。
　　据了解，该添加剂是含有枯草芽孢杆菌菌株的活孢子的制剂。经过评估，该添加剂对环境、目标物种以及动物产品消费者是安全的。当添加剂含量为2×108 CFU/Kg全价饲料有可能对猪进行有效的育肥。

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of Bacillus subtilis DSM 28343 when used in feed for pigs for fattening. The additive is a preparation containing viable spores of a strain of Bacillus subtilis. This species is considered by EFSA to be suitable for the qualified presumption of safety （QPS） approach to safety assessment which requires the identity of the strain to be conclusively established, evidence that the strain is not toxigenic and that it does not show resistance to antibiotics of human and veterinary importance. The strain was found to meet the criteria for the QPS approach in the context of a previous opinion and since concerns are not expected from other components of the additive, the additive is presumed safe for all target species, consumers and the environment. In a previous opinion, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that Bacillus subtilis DSM 28343 is not an eye/skin irritant but should be considered as a potential respiratory sensitizer and that no conclusion could be drawn on its skin sensitisation potential.
