Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
not specified
Doses:
The dosages were arranged in a logarithmic series differing by a factor of two.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
14-day post observation period
Statistics:
Based upon mortalities during a 14-day observation period, the most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range are estimated by the method of Thompson* using the tables of Weil**.

*Thompson, W. R.: Use of Moving Averages and Interpolation to Estimate Median Effective Dose. Bacteriol. Rev. 11: 115 (June 1947).
