*: Indicates that the MRL is proposed at the limit of quantification.

a

Median residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the median dietary burden.

b

Highest residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the maximum dietary burden.

c

Closest feeding level and N dose rate related to the maximum dietary burden.

d

For milk, mean was derived from samplings performed from day 7 to day 28 (daily mean of 3 cows).

e

Since extrapolation from cattle to other ruminants and swine is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in sheep and swine.

f

For eggs, mean and highest residues were derived from samplings performed from day 15 to day 39 (daily mean or daily highest of 3 laying hens).

g

Tentative MRL since dietary burden might be overestimated resulting from the major contribution of mangel fodder beet (trials performed according to a more critical GAP) to these diets.
