Table 6.

Comparison of estimated DON (as sum of DON, 3‐Ac‐DON, 15‐Ac‐DON and DON‐3‐glucoside) exposure levels and RP/adverse effect concentration for poultry and horses

Animal species	RP (mg DON/kg feed)	Adverse effect concentration (mg DON/kg DM feed)	Estimated exposure (mg DON/kg DM feed)^(a)		Estimated exposure, % of RP/adverse effect concentration
Animal species	RP (mg DON/kg feed)	Adverse effect concentration (mg DON/kg DM feed)	P95 (UB)	Mean (UB)	P95 (UB)	Mean (UB)
Poultry
Broiler chickens	0.6	1.9	3.30	1.03	550/174	172/54
Fattening turkeys	0.6	1.7	4.0	1.5	667/235	250/88
Horses
Fresh grass diet^(a)	3.5	6	‐‐^(c)	0.17	N/A	4.8/2.8
Grass hay diet^(b)	3.5	6	‐‐^(c)	0.25	N/A	7.1/4.2

RP: Reference point (for adverse animal health effects); DON: deoxynivalenol; DM: dry matter; UB: upper bound; N/A: not applicable.

^(a)

Fresh grass and/or grass silage‐based diets (i.e. assumes no exposure from forages).

^(b)

Grass hay‐based diets.

^(c)

Insufficient number of samples reported (i.e. <60) to calculate 95th percentile concentration.
