Animal Residue Data Sheet - Chlorfenapyr
Chlorfenapyr is registered in Australia for use on apples, pears, peaches, Brassica vegetables, Chinese cabbage and cotton. Details of the registered use patterns can be found on the approved labels of registered products containing chlorfenapyr as the active constituent. This Animal Residue Data Sheet provides information on the possible residues in feed commodities obtained from crops treated with chlorfenapyr. 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.

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 chlorfenapyr are summarised below.
| Species | MFL, ppm in diet |
Equivalent DDIL, mg/kg bw | Equivalent
intake of chlorfenapyr, mg/animal/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cattlea | 0.47 | 0.019 | 9.4 |
| Sheepb | 0.47 | 0.019 | 1.2 |
| Pigb | 0.47 | 0.019 | 1.2 |
| Poultryc | 0.38 | 0.029 | 0.057 |
| a The MFL was determined by extrapolation from the cattle transfer
study using results from the group dosed at 0.66 ppm in the diet
(0.026 mg/kg bw, 574 kg bw, 22 kg DM/day). The DDIL is calculated
from the MFL assuming a 500 kg cow consuming 20 kg DM/day. b The MFL is based on cattle data as no sheep or pig data available. The DDIL is calculated from the MFL assuming a 60 kg animal consuming 2.5 kg DM/day c The MFL was determined by extrapolation from the poultry metabolism study. The DDIL is calculated from the MFL assuming a 2 kg hen consuming 0.15 kg DM/day. |

Detailed Information
All Feed Commodities
Feed commodities that may contain residues of chlorfenapyr are listed in the table below. The theoretical maximum proportion of the diet that the commodity can comprise, when residues are present at the MRL, without the significant risk of animal commodity MRLs being violated is also given. For instance, were apple pomace to be fed to cattle at 30% of the diet, the remainder of the diet would need to be free of residues of chlorfenapyr to minimise the risk of cattle commodity MRLs being violated. 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.

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. The ppm in the feed is calculated using the following formula: DDIL (mg chemical/kg bw) _ body weight (kg) ¸ daily feed intake (kg).
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.
