动物营养中的饲用单宁酸

平衡的饮食是健康和高质量生活的前提。这一原则也适用于动物，特别是牲畜。保护动物的健康意味着保障整个食物链，对人类的营养也有积极影响。

饲用单宁酸TANNIN IN ANIMAL NUTRITION

A balanced diet is the prerequisite for leading a healthy and a good quality life. This principle is valid also for animals, and, in particular, for livestock animals. To protect their health means safeguarding the whole food chain, with positive consequences also on human nutrition.

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of tannic acid

Tannic acid is a synonym for hydrolysable tannins, which are widely distributed in nature. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive up to 15 mg/kg feed is safe for all animal species. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive under the proposed conditions of use presents no safety risk to consumers. In the absence of data, it would be prudent to regard the additive as potentially hazardous to workers by exposure to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes or by inhalation exposure. Tannic acid is naturally present in many plant species. The use of tannic acid as a feed additive is considered safe for the environment. Tannic acid is recognised as a food flavouring agent and is included in the European Union list of food flavourings. As its function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is necessary.
