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 |
0.05 | 0.1 | 1.0 | 2.0 | Reduced bw gain | |
0.2 | 0.4 | 5.0 | 10.0 | Reduced fertility | |
Laying hens | n.d. | 0.054 | n.d | 2.0 | Oral lesions |
0.33 | 0.60 | 5.0 | 10 | Reduced bw gain | |
0.60 | 1.01 | 10 | 20 | Reduced egg production | |
Ducks | n.d. | 0.022 | n.d. | 0.3 | Oral lesions |
Turkeys | n.d. | 0.012 | n.d. | 0.2 | Oral lesions |
