- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Froxfield Rabbits, Petersfield, Hampshire, England.
- Weight at study initiation: 2.1-3.1 kg
- Housing: individually in metal cages with perforated floors
- Diet: SQC Standard Rabbit Diet (ad libitum)
- Water: tap water (ad libitum)
- Acclimation period: 10 days

Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on dermal exposure:
- 24 hours prior to treatment hair was clipped from the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit exposing an area approximately 10% of the total body surface area. The test substance was applied by spreading evenly over the clipped treatment site in as uniform a manner as possible moistened with 2.0 ml/kg bodyweight saline. The site was then covered with gauze backed with an occlusive dressing encircled firmly around the trunk of the animal. After the exposure period of 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the treatment site gently washed with water to remove any residual test substance. "Elizabethan" collars were fitted on each rabbit and were worn approximately 23 hours to prevent ingestion of any residual substance.
- Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 2g/kg bodyweight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed soon after dosing and then at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days the animals were observed once in the morning and once at the end of the experimental day. The following were recorded at each observation: approximate time of death of individual rabbits; nature, severity, approximate time of onset and duration of each sign of toxicity. The bodyweight of each rabbit eas recorded on Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11 and 15 or at death.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
