Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
1 000 - 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: 4 male and 4 female animals of the 2000 mg/kg bw dose group died. Observed clinical signs were reversible within 14 days.
Mortality:
4 male and 4 female animals of the 2000 mg/kg bw dose group died during the first two days post treatment. No further mortality observed.
Clinical signs:
other: 2000 mg/kg bw dose group: Dyspnea, apathy, staggering, piloerection and poor general state was observed post treatment (4 hours) and up to 2 days after treatment in all animals. Twitching was observed 4 hours after treatment in the female animals. Afterwa
Gross pathology:
Animals that died (male + female): General congestion.
Stomach: atonic; reddened mucosa; striking liquid contents.
Intestines: atonic; reddened mucosa; liquid contents, in most animal bloody.
No pathological findings noted in surviving animals.
