Coxidín Renewed in Poultry Feed 2026: What Manufacturers and Producers Must Do

Key data

Feed manufacturers and poultry producers using the Coxidín (sodium monensin) additive have an immediate obligation: to adapt their products and documentation to the new conditions established by the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/532, in force since March 11, 2026. This is not a minor change: the regulation expands authorized uses, repeals two previous regulations and consolidates the entire regulatory framework in a single text.

The authorization holder, Huvepharma N.V., and all operators working with this preparation must verify compliance with the new labeling, dosage and formulation requirements before the competent authorities begin inspections.

What does this regulation establish?

Regulation 2026/532 introduces two main changes compared to the previous situation:

Regulations EC 109/2007 and EU 140/2012 are expressly repealed. Any reference to those standards in internal documentation, technical sheets or labels must be updated to the new text.

The authorized preparation is sodium monensin under the trade name Coxidín, whose authorization holder is Huvepharma N.V. The regulation establishes specific conditions for dosage and labeling that all operators must comply with.

Economic and operational impact

The impact is not only administrative. Sector operators must assume real adaptation costs in several areas:

• Review and update of feed formulations: Companies that produce feed with Coxidín must verify that the dosages and conditions of use comply with the new specifications of the regulation.
• Update of technical documentation: Technical sheets, product records and any documentation that references the repealed regulations (EC 109/2007 or EU 140/2012) must be updated.
• Review of labeling: The labeling requirements established in Regulation 2026/532 are mandatory. Labels that do not reflect the new conditions must be modified.
• Adjustment of animal production protocols: Poultry producers who incorporate Coxidín in the feed of broiler turkeys or turkeys raised for breeding must adapt their protocols, as this is a new use not previously contemplated.
• Opportunity for the turkey sector: The expansion of authorization to broiler turkeys and turkeys raised for breeding opens the possibility of using Coxidín in segments where it was not previously permitted, which may represent a competitive advantage for those who adopt it correctly.

Who does it affect?

• Feed manufacturers that include sodium monensin (Coxidín) in their formulations for poultry.
• Poultry producers that raise broiler chickens, pullets for laying, broiler turkeys or turkeys for breeding and use feed with this additive.
• Huvepharma N.V., as the authorization holder, which must comply with the labeling and dosage requirements established.
• Companies in the poultry livestock sector in general that manage or market feed with this preparation in the EU.
• Quality and regulatory compliance managers in sector companies that must update records, technical sheets and internal procedures.

Practical example

A feed manufacturing company that currently produces broiler chicken feed with Coxidín, and whose technical documentation is referenced to the Regulation EC 109/2007, must act as follows:

1. Review the product technical sheet and replace the reference to Regulation EC 109/2007 with the new Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/532.
2. Verify that the dosages and conditions of use of Coxidín in its formulation comply with the specifications of the new regulation.
3. Update the product labeling in accordance with the new requirements.

If that same company wants to expand its catalog with a feed for broiler turkeys that includes Coxidín, it now has the legal basis to do so under Regulation 2026/532, something that was not possible with the previous regulation. It must ensure compliance with the specific dosage and labeling conditions for this new category of use before marketing the product.

What should companies do now?

1. Identify if they use Coxidín (sodium monensin) in their feed: Review the catalog of additives used and confirm whether any of the products manufactured or used contains this preparation.
2. Update technical documentation: Replace all references to Regulations EC 109/2007 and EU 140/2012 with the new Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/532 in technical sheets, product records and internal documentation.
3. Review formulations and dosages: Verify that the conditions of use of Coxidín in each formulation comply with the specifications of the new regulation, especially if use is expanded to turkeys.
4. Update labeling: Ensure that the labels of feed containing Coxidín comply with the new labeling requirements established in Regulation 2026/532.
5. Evaluate the opportunity for new uses: If the company works with broiler turkeys or turkeys raised for breeding, consider incorporating Coxidín in feed for these categories, now authorized.
6. Verify compliance before any inspection: The regulation requires compliance from the date of entry into force (March 11, 2026). Do not wait to receive a request to adapt the products.
