Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
- 1/10 dosed at 5000 mg/kg bw
- 1/10 dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw
Clinical signs:
5000 mg/kg bw:
- Survivors: diarrhea, soiling of the anogenital area, lethargy, bloated abdomen, piloerection, wetness of body areas, brown staining of the nose/mouth area and localized alopecia.
- Male died on day 3: diarrhea, chromodacryorrhea, soiling of the anogenital area, piloerection, lethargy, flaccid muscle tone, brown staining of the nose/mouth area and wetness of the anogenital area.

2000 mg/kg bw:
- Survivors: diarrhea, soiling of the anogenital area, lethargy, brown staining of the nose/mouth area and wetness of the anogenital area
- Male died on day 2: lethargy, dyspnea and soiling of the anogenital area
Body weight:
5000 mg/kg bw: Body weight changes were normal in 7/9 survivors. Two males lost weight by day 3 but gained normally by day 7.
2000 mg/kg bw: Body weight changes were normal in 8/9 survivors. One female lost weight during the 2nd week of the observation period.
Gross pathology:
5000 mg/kg bw: Necropsy results of survivors were normal in 2/9 animals. Localized alopecia was noted in 7/9 animals.
2000 mg/kg bw: Necropsy results of survivors were normal.
