ZEN: zearalenone; ZAL: zearalanol; ZAN: zearalanone; ZEL: zearalenol; N: number of samples; LB: lower bound; UB: upper bound; P95: 95th percentile; RPF: relative potency factor.

a

Expressed on a dry matter basis.

b

No data on levels of α‐ZAL, β‐ZAL, ZAN, α‐ZEL or β‐ZEL were provided for compound feeds for these poultry.

c

Values were rounded to the nearest whole number (0 decimal places).

d

The 95th percentile with less than 60 observations may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011b). Those estimates were not included in this table.
