ni: These feeds have not been included in the diet formulations; DON: deoxynivalenol; Ac: acetyl.

a

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.

Diet formulation based on data provided by the Finnish Fur Breeders Association in 2015 and translated from Finnish to English, http://www.profur.fi

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.

b

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.
