The test substance suspensions were freshly prepared on each day of dosing. The homogeneity of the test substance suspensions during treatment was maintained by constant stirring using magnetic stirrers.
* for Batch 1 and 2 respectively

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.5% aqueous solution with 1.0 mL/L of Tween 80

- Lot/batch no. (if required): 46789 - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The stability and homogeneity of the test substance in the vehicle was analysed for the low and high dose groups before the start of the study. Precisely weighted 0.75 g (low dose) and 4.50 g (high dose) of the finely ground test substance were individually suspended and the final volume made up to 150 mL with 0.5% carboxy methyl cellulose to get the nominal concentrations of 5 and 30 mg/mL respectively of the suspension. The test substance suspensions were stirred continuously with a magnetic stirrer for 20 minutes before sampling. Samples for analysing the homogeneity were taken from top, middle, and bottom layers. One additional sample from the top layer was also drawn and stored at ambient temperature for 3 hours and analysed for stability of the suspension. The gavage samples were suitably diluted with acetone and the concentration of Ametryn Technical was analysed in GLC.

- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The doses selected were based on a range finding study completed prior to the final study. It was expected that the highest dose level would produce slight maternal toxic effects such as reduced maternal weight gains. The animals in the control group were handled in an identical manner to the test group.
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): random
Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: twice daily
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: twice daily
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: initial body weight of all the rabbits included in the study were noted before mating. Body weights were noted on day 0, daily from day 6 through day 18 and on day 29 of gestation.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study): Yes
Rabbits were given 500 g of food on day 0 of pregnancy. The food remaining on day 3 was weighed, recorded and replenished to 500 g. This procedure was repeated on days 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 22, and 25. On day 29 of gestation the left over food was weighed.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study): No data
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Sacrifice on gestation day # 29
- Organs examined: uterus and ovaries - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight: Yes
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantations: Yes
- Number of early resorptions: Yes
- Number of late resorptions: Yes - Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Soft tissue examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Skeletal examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Head examinations: Yes: all per litter - Statistics:
- The litter was used as the basic sampling unit. The following statistical methods were used to analyse the various parameters:
1) Maternal body weight and weight gain, food intake, number of corpora lutea, number of implantations and mean fetal weight by Barlett's test followed by ANOVA and Dunnett's test.
2) Day 0 and absolute body weights by paired 't' test.
3) Number and percent (when required) of early and late resorptions, number of dead fetuses, number of abnormal fetuses, percent pre-implantation and post-implantation losses by Mann Whitney test.
4) Litter size and total number of fetuses by student's 't' test
5) Sex ratio, number of dams with any resorptions, number of dams with complete resorptions and incidence of malformations by 2x2 Contingency table (Chi-square test)
6) Number of fetuses with major malformations and number of dams with major malformed fetuses by 'Z' test.
7) The correlation between dose and response was analysed by student's 't' test.
All analyses and comparisons were evaluated at 5% (P=0.05) level.
Results and discussion

- Maternal toxic effects:yes
Details on maternal toxic effects:
A decrease in body weight was noted on gestation day 18 in the 60 mg/kg bw/day dams. Body weight gain in the 60 mg/kg bw/day dams also was noted.
Gross Pathological findings of Dams: no statistically significant treatment-related effects

Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
The mean number of corpora lutea, implantations and the incidence of early and late resorptions in all the treatment groups were statistically comparable to the respective control values. While the incidence of pre-implantation loss in the treatment groups was comparable to the control value, the incidence of post-implantation loss showed a tendency towards an increase in the high dose group. There was an incidence of complete resorptions in the high dose group which was comparable to the historical data.
The total number of fetuses, the mean litter size, the number of male and female fetuses, the mean fetal weights and the sex ratio in the treatment groups were comparable to the respective control values. There was one incidence each of abnormal fetus in the high does group and dead fetus in the control group; however, these incidences were comparable to the historical data.
External observation, visceral observations, and skeletal observations : no statistically significant treatment-related effects
