(4 In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re- evaluation of preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for calves, cats and dogs and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for kids, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That appli- cation was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. (5)  The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinions of 29 January 2013 () that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use increases final body weight andfor daily weight gain in calves for rearing and fattening and that can be extrapolated to kids for rearing and fattening. It also recognised that the prep- aration has a beneficial effect in dogs by increasing the intestinal or serum concentration of IgA. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
