Row 2, lead, is replaced by the following:\nMaximum levels refer to an analytical determination of lead, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5 % w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied for which it can be demonstrated that the used extraction procedure has an equal extraction efficiency.\nGreen fodder includes products intended for animal feed such as hay, silage, fresh grass, etc.\nThe levels shall be reviewed by 31 December 2007 with the aim of reducing the maximum levels.’\nUndesirable substances\nProducts intended for animal feed\nMaximum content in mg/kg (ppm) relative to a feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\n‘2.\nLead\nFeed materials with the exception of:\n10\n– green fodder\n30\n– phosphates and calcareous marine algae\n15\n– calcium carbonate\n20\n– yeasts\n5\nAdditives belonging to the functional group of compounds of trace elements except\n100\n– zinc oxide\n400\n– manganous oxide, iron carbonate, copper carbonate\n200\nAdditives belonging to the functional groups of binders and anti-caking agents except\n30\n– clinoptilolite of volcanic origin\n60\nPremixtures\n200\nComplementary feedingstuffs with the exception of\n10\n– mineral feedingstuffs\n15\nComplete feedingstuffs\n5\n2..
