Target animal intake of total furocoumarins and methoxycoumarins at the maximum proposed use level of the additive in feed for each target species (ranging from 12 to 35 mg/kg complete feed). Total values of furocoumarins and methoxycoumarins in feed are calculated considering the average and the maximum analysed value for each congener in the additive lemon oil expressed
