- Mortality:

2.0 mg/L: 2/10 males and 3/10 females
2.8 mg/L: 7/10 males and 5/10 females
5.2 mg/L: 5/10 males and 8/10 females
5.63 mg/L: 8/10 males and 9/10 females
Mortality appeared 2 to 4 days after treatment - Clinical signs:
- other: In all treatment groups, accelerated and intermittent respiration, disturbance of equilibrium to narcosis, bloody secretion of the eyes and nose were observed. In the 2.8 mg/L group, bloody urine was observed. Survivors were free from symptoms after 5-8 d
- Body weight:
- Mean weight at day 0, day 7 and day 14 in g (total bw gain in brackets), based on data of the living animals at any one time
Males
Control: 182.0 - 203.6 - 250.0 (68)
0.8 mg/L: 219.5 - 247.0 - 273.0 (53.5)
2.0 mg/L: 203.8 - 232.0 - 278.0 (74.2)
2.8 mg/L: 208.0 - 223.0 - 225.0 (17.0)
5.2 mg/L: 197.0 - 203.0 - 252.0 (55.0)
5.63 mg/L: 183.0 - 186.0 - 227.0 (44.0)
During the first week, the body weight gain was parallel in all groups. In the second week, the body weight gain of the survivors of the 2.8 and the 5.63 mg/L group were lower than the other groups including control.
Females
Control: 176.0 - 186.2 - 202.0 (26.0)
0.8 mg/L: 193.5 - 201.0 - 217.0 (23.5)
2.0 mg/L: 188.1 - 177.0 - 214.0 (25.9)
2.8 mg/L: 206.0 - 217.0 - 227.0 (19.0)
5.2 mg/L: 206.0 - 218.0 - 232.0 (26.0)
5.63 mg/L: 176.0 - 190.0.0 - 206.0 (30.0)
All treatment groups gained body weight comparably to the control. Females of the 2.0 g/L group lost weight in the first week of observation, but recovered completely in terms of weight gain - Gross pathology:
- Animals that died: acute dilatation of the atria; lung with acute congestion hyperemia, partially edematic; liver muddy-grey due to broadened lobe circumference; stomach: bloody ulcerations; intestine: hematinised content; kidneys: slightly lighter coloured
Surviving animals: nothing abnormal found
