- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Manfred Bauer Kaninchen, Lohe 7/1, 74632 Neuenstein, Germany
- Age at study initiation: approx. 8 months
- Weight at study initiation: 3.9 kg - 4.3 kg
- Housing: during the acclimatisation period and after the 8-hour period in restrainers, the animals were kept singly in cages with dimensions of 380 mm x 425 mm x 600 mm (manufacturer: Dipl.Ing. W. EHRET GmbH, 16352 Schönwalde, Germany). For 8 hours following test item application, the animals were kept singly in restrainers.
- Diet (ad libitum, before and after the exposure period): commercial diet, ssniff® K-H V2333 (ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, 59494 Soest, Germany)
- Water (ad libitum): tap water
- Acclimation period: at least 20 adaptation days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20°C ± 3°C (maximum range)
- Relative humidity: 30% - 70% (maximum range)
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg test item were fine grounded and administered into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the material. The left eye, which remained untreated, served as a control. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 1 hour
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 female rabbits
- Details on study design:
- INITIAL AND CONFIRMATORY TEST
The test was performed initially using one animal. As no corrosive or severe irritant effects were observed in this animal, 2 further animals were employed 24 hours after start of the initial test.
USAGE OF ANAESTHETICS AND SYSTEMIC ANALGESICS
Sixty minutes prior to test item administration, 0.01 mg Buprenovet®/kg bw were administered by subcutaneous injection to all animals to provide a therapeutic level of systemic analgesia to avoid or minimize pain and distress.
Five minutes prior to the test item administration, two drops of Ophtocain®, a topical anaesthetic, was applied to each eye of all animals, to the right eye, in which the test item was to be applied, and to the left eye, which served as control.
Eight hours after administration, Buprenovet 0.01 mg/kg, s.c. and Metacam 0.5 mg/kg, s.c. were administered to provide a continued therapeutic level of systemic analgesia.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the eyes were rinsed with 20 mL of 0.9% aqueous NaCl solution.
- Time after start of exposure: one hour after administration
SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
Any further lesions were listed.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: the eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp.
One day before and 24 hours after administration, fluorescein was applied to the eyes before being examined to aid evaluation of the cornea for possible lesions. The fluorescein test was repeated on each day of observation. The degree of staining and the area involved of the cornea were recorded.
OBSERVATIONS:
- body weight was measured at the beginning and at the end of the study.
- behaviour and food consumption were monitored.
