ANNEX U.K.

PART A U.K. CHEMICAL ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

SECTION 6 U.K. Residues in or on treated products, food and feed

6.2. Metabolism, distribution and expression of residues U.K.

6.2.2. Poultry U.K.

Circumstances in which required U.K.

Metabolism studies on poultry shall be provided where the plant protection product is to be used in crops whose parts or products, also after processing, are fed to poultry and where the intake is expected to exceed 0,004 mg/kg bw/day(1).

Test conditions U.K.

Studies shall be carried out in laying hens.

Dose rates shall be at least equivalent to the likely maximum daily exposure resulting from all intended uses.

If the identification of metabolites cannot be carried out with dose rates of 10 mg/kg feed (dry matter), higher doses may be used.

If no feeding studies are carried out, plateau levels in eggs shall be demonstrated in the metabolism study taking into account that plateau levels usually occur no later than 14 days from the beginning of dosing in laying poultry.

(1)

mg/kg bw/day = mg active substance / kg body weight of the concerned species / day.
