^aHere we assumed 100 tonnes per feed batch; 100 incremental samples were collected per batch and combined into one aggregate sample.

^bOne aliquot was extracted from the aggregate sample to determine the AFB1 concentration using liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a detection limit of 0.0125 µg/kg.
