Popis: Results of genotoxicity studies for magnesium salts of isobutyrate and 2-methylbutyrate, two candidate ingredients for inclusion in animal feed, are described in this manuscript. Both substances were tested for mutagenicity in a bacterial reverse mutation assay and clastogenicity/aneugenicity in an in vitro micronucleus study in human lymphocytes, conducted according to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines. The substances were tested up to the limits of solubility in the tests. The results showed that that magnesium salts of isobutyrate and 2-methylbutyrate are not mutagenic, clastogenic or aneugenic. The tests were valid, as the negative and positive controls produced expected responses.
