a

By‐products of processing these grains See Commission Regulation (EU) No 575/2011 of June 2011 for full description.51

b

No data for the sum of DON, 3‐Ac‐DON, 15‐Ac‐DON or DON‐3‐glucoside concentration were available, and therefore no contribution from these feeds has been assumed.

c

Concentrations calculated by using the mean concentrations of the sum of DON, 3‐Ac‐DON, 15‐Ac‐DON and DON‐3‐glucoside reported for the individual feeds in Appendix C, Table C.2.

d

Concentrations calculated by using the 95th percentile concentrations of the sum of DON, 3‐Ac‐DON, 15‐Ac‐DON and DON‐3‐glucoside reported for the individual feeds in Appendix C, Table C.2.
