Animal Residue Data Sheet - Captan

Captan is registered in Australia for foliar use on apples, pears, stone fruit, grapes, strawberries and turf, and on peanuts as a seed dressing. Details of the registered use patterns can be found on the approved labels of registered products containing captan as the active constituent. This Animal Residue Data Sheet provides information on the possible residues in feed commodities obtained from crops treated with captan. It also provides information on the anticipated maximum dietary exposure of animals fed treated commodities, which should not result in the violation of animal MRLs.

Current MRLs

The Australian MRLs for captan in food and animal feed commodities, as listed in Table 1 and Table 4 of the MRL Standard (as at December 2002) are shown below. The residue definition of captan is the parent compound per se.

Summary of maximum feeding levels and livestock dietary intakes

The Maximum Feeding Level (MFL, the feeding level at which the MRLs are based), the equivalent Daily Dietary Intake For Livestock (DDIL) and the equivalent daily intake of captan are summarised below.

Detailed information

All feed commodities

Feed commodities that may contain residues of captan are listed in the table below. The theoretical maximum proportion of the diet that the commodity can compose, when residues are present at the MRL, without the significant risk of animal commodity MRLs being violated is also given. It should be noted that the feeding levels assumed by the NRA when setting animal commodity MRLs are theoretical values, and they should not be taken as recommendations of appropriate rations for livestock. Berries (other than grapes) have been omitted from the table, as they are not considered to be a significant animal food.

Abbreviations and definitions

DM: Dry matter. The feed consumption for livestock and the residue levels in feed commodities are expressed on a dry matter basis.

DDIL: Daily Dietary Intake for Livestock. The level of dietary exposure for a specified chemical in a specified species that should not result in exceedance of the relevant animal commodity MRLs. Expressed in mg chemical/kg bodyweight.

MFL: Maximum Feeding Level. The level of dietary exposure for a specified chemical in a specified species that should not result in exceedance of the relevant animal commodity MRLs. Expressed in terms of ppm in the feed.

MRL: The concentration of a chemical residue, in units of mg/kg, that is legally permitted in or on a food or food commodity.

ppm in the feed: Parts per million in the feed. An alternate way of expressing the level of dietary exposure for a chemical. The level of chemical intake is calculated as though it were present uniformly in the total feed intake. For example: a cow consumes 10 kg of grain containing 10 mg/kg of Captan and 10 kg of apple pomace containing 5 mg/kg of Captan. The total intake of Captan is 150 mg in 20 kg of feed. This is equivalent to 7.5 ppm in the feed [150÷20].

STMR-P: Supervised Trial Median Residue of the processed commodity. The highest residue that livestock are likely to be exposed to in practice when fed processed commodities over a prolonged period. This is derived from the STMR of the whole commodity multiplied by the processing factor.

Considering the processing factor of 1 to dry apple pomace, the established Table 4 entry for apple pomace, dry, of 10 mg/kg (1 _ MRL) is appropriate. The STMR-P for apple pomace is (1.6 _ 1) 1.6 mg/kg.
