Division Circumstances in which requiredF1

Feeding studies are only required:

• when significant residues (≥ 0,1 mg/kg of the total diet as received, except special cases, such as active substances which accumulate) occur in crops or part of the crop (e.g. trimmings, waste) fed to animals, and

• when metabolism studies indicate that significant residues (0,01 mg/kg or above the limit of determination if this would be higher than 0,01 mg/kg) may occur in any edible animal tissue taking into account the residue levels in potential feedingstuffs obtained at the 1 × dose rate.

Where appropriate separate feeding studies for lactating ruminant and/or laying poultry shall be submitted. Where it appears from the metabolism studies submitted in accordance with point 6.2 that metabolic pathways differ significantly in the pig as compared to ruminants, a pig feeding study must be conducted unless the expected intake by pigs is not significant.
