Duration of treatment / exposure:
Dosing of both sexes began 2 weeks prior to mating, and was kept during the 14-day mating period.
Dosing of Males was terminated when 14-day mating period was completed (28 days in total), while
dosing of females was continued throughout the study until day 4 post-partum.
Frequency of treatment:
The dose was given to the parental males and females daily, seven days per week continuously until t
heir termination days, respectively.

Doses / Concentrations:

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Control animals:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale: According to OECD Guideline for the testing of Chemicals 421, the limit
dose is normally used for the test substances that do not produce observable toxic effects and if t
oxicity is not expected. No severe toxicity was expected to the test item based on the product inf
ormation provided by the sponsor. In addition, the LD50 cut-off value of the test item in acute oral
toxicity study was more than 5000 mg/kg body. Therefore, the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg body we
ight daily was selected for this study.
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): random

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the above study,
a) No parent animal died during the dosing and observation period
b) No adverse effect was observed on all the parent animals of both test and control groups t
hroughout the observation period
c) No toxic effect was observed on reproduction of parent animals, offspring and post-natal growth of
pups
d) No treatment-related necropsy finding was observed on the parent animals
e) No treatment-related microscopic finding was observed on the ovaries, testes and epididymides of
the parent animals in both test and control groups. All findings observed were considered to re-pres
ent normal background changes in animals of this strain and age.
Hence, based on the above results, administrating the test item repeatedly at 1000 mg/kg body weight
through oral route (28-day for male parents and up to post-partum Day 4 for female parents), the test
item does not produce reproductive / developmental toxicity to Sprague Dawley (SD) rats.
Executive summary:

The reproductive / developmental toxicity of strontium ferrite was investigated in a screening study

according to OECD guideline 421. The limit doese of 1000 mg/kg b.w. was administered to 12 male and

12 female rats (Spargue Dawley). The control group consisted of 12 animals each. Clinical observations

were made for each animal of F1, toxic effects on reproducation, offspring and post-natal growth were

examined.

Based on the study,

a) No parent animal died during the dosing and observation period

b) No adverse effect was observed on all the parent animals of both test and control groups throughout

the observation period

c) No toxic effect was observed on reproduction of parent animals, offspring and post-natal growth of

pups

d) No treatment-related necropsy finding was observed on the parent animals

e) No treatment-related microscopic finding was observed on the ovaries, testes and epididymides of

the parent animals in both test and control groups. All findings observed were considered to re-present

normal background changes in animals of this strain and age.

Hence, based on the above results, administrating the test item repeatedly at 1000 mg/kg body weight

through oral route (28-day for male parents and up to post-partum Day 4 for female parents), the test

item does not produce reproductive / developmental toxicity to Sprague Dawley (SD) rats.

It can be concluded that strontium ferrite does not produce reproductive / developmental toxicity.
