- Fasting period before study: yes, 18 hours
- Housing: 10 animals per cage (Makrolon SAFI cages, 60 x 40 cm)
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): UAR A04 Diet, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: not specified

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 - 21 °C

- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hrs/12 hrs

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on oral exposure:

- Concentration in vehicle: 25 g of test material in 100 mL vehicle
- Application volume:: 2 mL/100 g body weight

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: the animals were continuously observed for mortality and clinical symptoms; body weights were recored at test initiation (prior to treatment), on day 7 and on day 14 of observation.
- Necropsy and pathological examination were scheduled for animals found dead during the first 8 hours following treatment.
- No necropsy of survivors was scheduled.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: neither mortality nor clinical signs indicative of toxicity were observed during the 14-day observation period.

Mortality:

All animals survived.

Clinical signs:

Immediately following application, piloerection and apathy were observed; these symptoms however disappeared rapidly during the course of the observation period.

Body weight:

Body weight change in the course of the study was inconspicuous.

Gross pathology:

Since no animal died, no necrospy and thus, no gross pathology was conducted.
