Ai adequate intake (~97% con dence interval); minimal concentration or amount that results in no animal being de cient or when no minimal requirement has been demonstrated. Ra recommended allowance; based on minimal requirement, considers the normal variation in bioavailability of nutrients in feed ingredients of typical quality. Sul safe upper limit (aa"s are toxic if too much) There are separate recommendations for life stages (ie growth, late gestation, lactation) Goal is to make a recommendation that covers everyone"s requirements. Maximal concentration or amount of a nutrient that has not been associated with adverse side effects.
