Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- other: Kleinrussen Chbb
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: HM / Fa. Thomae, Biberach, Germany
- Weight at study initiation: ca. 2640 g
- Housing: individually (Fa. Heinkel, Kuchen, Germany)
- Diet (ad libitum): Altromin diet 2023, Altromin GmbH, Lage, Germany
- Water (ad libitum): community tap water; ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 7 days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): ca. 20 - 21
- Humidity (%): 45 - 55
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: left eyes of the same animals were used for control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- permanent, without washing-off
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 3 days (since only minor scores were observed that fully returned to normal within 3 days the experiment was cancelled due to animal welfare reasons; therefore the reduced observation period does not represent a deviation to the OECD guideline)
