Official basis (Method): Regulation 152/2009 Annex VI explicitly includes this stain. Microscopy is qualitative; legality depends on feed category, species and applicable rules. A positive finding is not automatically proof of a prohibited ingredient.
Procurement note: Use the selected Annex VI preparation and mounting system. Reagent detection does not by itself identify source species or establish legal feed permissibility.
