- Vehicle:
- other: First 20 days of Phase I of the study: Certified Rodent Chow, No. 5002 from Purina Company, St. Louis, Missouri.; May 27, 1980 until the end of the study: Charles River R-M-H 3200 Certified Meal, manufactured by Agway of Syracuse, N.Y.
- Details on exposure:
- The diets were prepared weekly by mixing the appropriate amount of UV-2908 with the appropriate amount of the basic diet with a Patterson-Kelley
2 cubic feet V-shaped mixer. Fresh diets were prepared weekly bassed on the feed consumption data obtained two weeks before. Feed consumption for each animal was measured weekly during the quarantine and for the next ten weeks on test during Phase 1. Feed and water was provided ad libitum. - Details on mating procedure:
- Beginning the first day of the 11th week on test the rats were pair-mated within their respective groups. The males were rotated to the next female up on the 6th and 12th day of mating, with the last male in each group mated with the first female of the same group. The male rats were removed on the 18th day of
breeding and euthanized soon thereafter and the testes saved in 10% buffered formalin, in case it became necessary to perform histopathological examination on the reproductive organs of any of these rats. The females were allowed to deliver their young. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

- All rats were inspected daily by the Animal Caretakers and/or by the study coordinators. Positive findings were documented as they occurred while negative findings were documented once a week. Any abnormal findings observed were immediately followed. Pertinent signs were called to the attention of the Study Director and all data were reviewed regularly by him.
- Litter observations:
- All rats were inspected daily by the Animal Caretakers and/or by the study coordinators. Positive findings were documented as they occurred while negative findings were documented once a week. Any abnormal findings observed were immediately followed. Pertinent signs were called to the attention of the Study Director and all data were reviewed regularly by him.
