Comparison of reference points (NOAELs/LOAELs) for DAS as availbale for pigs, poultry and dogs only with estimated exposure levels these animal species
| Animal species | Reference point (μg DAS/kg bw) | Estimated exposure (μg DAS/kg bw per day) | Estimated exposure in % of NOAEL or LOAEL | |||

bw: body weight; NOAEL: no observed adverse effect level; LOAEL: lowest observed adverse effect level; UB: upper bound; n.d.: not determined.
Exposures have been calculated from dietary concentrations expressed on a fresh weight (88% dry matter) basis to make them comparable with the data from which NOAELS/LOAELS have been derived.
