n.a.: not applicable.

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 9 to day 22 (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 21 to day 27 (daily mean or daily highest of 12 laying hens).

g

Tentative risk assessment values derived since wheat/rye products were found to be the major contributor to all livestock diets, and no robust residues data set for this feed item were available.
