Summary of NOAELs and LOAELs identified for hazard characterisation of DAS for those farm and companion animal species for which data on relevant adverse health effects could be identified. The NOAEL/LOAEL values are reported both as doses (mg DAS/kg bw) and concentrations (mg DAS/kg feed)

Animal species Reference point dose Reference point concentration Adverse effect
NOAEL (mg DAS/kg bw per day) LOAEL (mg DAS/kg bw per day) NOAEL (mg DAS/ kg feed) LOAEL (mg DAS/kg feed)
Pigs n.d. 0.08 n.d 2.0 Oral lesions
n.d. 0.12 n.d. 2.0 Reduced bw gain
Chicken n.d. 0.01 n.d. 0.2 Oral lesions

Ducks n.d. 0.022 n.d. 0.3 Oral lesions
Turkeys n.d. 0.012 n.d. 0.2 Oral lesions
