No conclusion on potential safe levels for other poultry, pigs, ruminants, fish and cats is possible.

The talks were devoted to the discussion of vital issues related to cooperation between the countries in veterinary surveillance and assurance of biological safety of mutually delivered animal products.

Since further use of Pediococcus pentosaceus (NCIMB 30068) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (NCIMB 30044) as feed additives may cause a risk to human and animal health, those feed additives should be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible.

Dogs and cats (22.61% of the sector), together with swine (35.37%) and cattle (25.77%) lead the species ranking one year more.
