For other seeds and grains such as barley, millet, oat, rice, rye, wheat and rapeseed, the final sample size of 500 g corresponds to more for 10 000.\nIn case the size of the aggregate sample is significantly less than 4 kg or litre (see footnotes point (6), also a smaller quantity of final sample can be taken on the condition this is described and documented in the sampling report.\nIn case of sampling pulses, cereal grains and tree nuts for the determination of pesticide residues, the minimum size of the final sample shall be 1 kg ....\nSolid feed\n500 g\nLiquid or semi-liquid feed\n500 ml",
