a
In the current control policy scenario, all costs and measures were applied in full, which corresponds to 100% adoption rate in the reduced control scenario. Percentages in the reduced control scenario indicate which proportion of current control measures were applied, and hence, which proportion of costs were incurred when compared to the current control policy scenario.
b
Heat treatment for production volumes more than 6 million kilograms, except liquid feed, vitamin, and mineral mixes.
