bw: body weight; DM: dry matter.

(a)

When several diets are relevant (e.g. cattle, sheep and poultry “all diets”), the most critical diet is identified from the maximum dietary burdens expressed as “mg/kg bw per day”.

(b)

The most critical commodity is the major contributor identified from the maximum dietary burden expressed as “mg/kg bw per day”.
