Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: 1/10 animal died on day 2 of observation
Mortality:
10000 mg/kg bw: 1 animal (female) died on day 2 of observation
1000 mg/kg bw: no mortality
Clinical signs:
other: 10000 mg/kg bw: On day 1, blue colouring of faeces and slight apathy were observed. Within 2 days, the symptoms were fully reversed. 1000 mg/kg bw: On day 1, blue colouring of faeces was observed. On day 2, faeces colour was normal.
Gross pathology:
10000 mg/kg bw: animal that died: substance residue was found in the thorax. No abnormalities were found in the other animals.
1000 mg/kg bw: no abnormalities were found.
