a

When one group of livestock includes several subgroups (e.g. poultry ‘all’ including broiler, layer and turkey), the result of the most critical subgroup 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’.
