Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the efficacy of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 (Biosprint®) as a zootechnical additive for cats. The additive is already authorised for use in sows, dairy cows, horses, weaned piglets, dogs, cattle and minor ruminants for fattening and minor ruminants for dairy production. In a previous opinion, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that Biosprint® is safe when used in feeds for cats and dogs. However, based on the data available, the FEEDAP Panel was unable to conclude on the efficacy of the additive when administered to cats. In the current application, the applicant provided an additional efficacy trial in cats. Based on the previously and newly submitted data, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that Biosprint® has the potential to be efficacious as a zootechnical additive for cats under the proposed conditions of use.
