B. paralicheniformis DSM 33806 is considered suitable for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive is considered safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. Based on the information submitted, the preparation of the additive containing calcium carbonate as carrier was considered non\u2010irritant to the skin, but no conclusions could be drawn for the preparation containing maltodextrin. Both preparations were eye irritant. The additive consists of a preparation of microorganisms and, therefore, both formulations should be considered as potential skin and respiratory sensitisers. Exposure by any route is considered a risk and should be minimised. The Panel concluded that the additive has the potential to be efficacious at the minimum use level of 1.5 \u00d7\u2009109 CFU\/kg complete feed or 0.75 \u00d7\u2009109 CFU\/L water for drinking in piglets (suckling and weaned), pigs for fattening, sows (in order to have benefit in piglets) and minor growing and reproductive porcine species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2903\/j.efsa.2026.10343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,20]],"date-time":"2026-10-20T09:17:15Z","timestamp":1792487835000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of Bacillus paralicheniformis DSM 33806 and Heyndrickxia faecalis DSM 32016 (TechnoCare\u00ae 50) for piglets (suckling and weaned), pigs for fattening, sows (in order to have benefit in piglets) and all minor growing and reproductive porcine species (Biochem Zusatzstoffe Handels\u2010 und Produktionsges. mbH)"],"prefix":"10.2903","volume":"24","author":[{"name":"EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP)","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto Edoardo","family":"Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Azimonti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleftherios","family":"Bonos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henrik","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mojca","family":"Durjava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birgit","family":"Dusemund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronette","family":"Gehring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boet","family":"Glandorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryline","family":"Kouba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"L\u00f3pez\u2010Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Marcon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Martelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Nebbia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alena","family":"Pechov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Prieto\u2010Maradona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katerina","family":"Theodoridou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vasileios","family":"Bampidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"No\u00ebl","family":"Dierick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruud","family":"Woutersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Montserrat","family":"Anguita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matteo L.","family":"Innocenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosella","family":"Brozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordi","family":"Ortu\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Pettenati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joana P.","family":"Firmino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"10.2903\/j.efsa.2026.10343_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) .
