Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of Probiotic LACTINA® ( Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus and Enterococcus faecium) for chickens for fattening and piglets
Probiotic LACTINA® is a feed additive consisting of six strains of lactic acid bacteria. In 2007 the European Food Safety Authority was requested to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the additive when used as a zootechnical additive (functional group: gut flora stabilisers) in diets for chickens for fattening, piglets and pigs for fattening. At that time the FEEDAP Panel was able to conclude only on the safety for the environment and partially for the user. EFSA is now requested to assess the safety for the target animals and consumers, and the efficacy of the additive when added in diets for chickens for fattening at 5 x 10
