Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on those results, indicating a possible effect at the dose of 500 mg/kg/d, a NOAEL from this study was 167 mg/kg bw/day (3300 ppmin diet).
Executive summary:

Based on those results, indicating a possible effect at the dose of 500 mg/kg/d, a NOAEL from this study was 167 mg/kg bw/day (3300 ppmin diet).
