N: number of samples; %LC: percentage of left‐censored data; LB: lower bound; MB: middle bound; UB: upper bound.

a

The occurrence data at Feed Catalogue Level 2 are reported only for feed categories with more than 60 analytical results.

b

The 95th percentile obtained on occurrence data with fewer than 60 analytical results may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011b) and is therefore not reported in the table and replaced by a dash.
