2012-2013: Review of
livestock feed additives that have direct beneficial effects on the
environment (Ref. CFT/EFSA/FEED/2012/02 – CT01)
In this project, funded by
the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), AERU undertook a thorough,
critical and systematic review of existing evidence of the
environmental benefits associated with feed additives. This included
'grey' literature and unpublished reports as well as journal
publications and project reports. The analysis compared the study
methodology against a set of pre-determined criteria and produced an
inventory of current feed additives together with relevant data
(quantitative and qualitative) on efficacy, mode of action, usage and
regulatory status as well as physico-chemical and toxicological data.
Data was accessible for both individual studies and accumulated
evidence; and was used to support the European regulatory process.
