Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: TNO
- Age at study initiation: "young adult"
- Weight at study initiation: 116 - 328 g (males); 78 - 160 g (female)
- Fasting period before study: no
- Housing: 1/cage during dose feeding, 5/cage the remainder of the study
- Diet: defined supplemented amount at dosing, ad libitum with unsupplemented stock diet
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: no data


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 23 +-1°C
- Humidity (%): no data
- Air changes (per hr): "well ventilated"
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): no data


Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: feed
Vehicle:
other: diet
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE (Feed):
- Concentration in vehicle: 20 % (1:4, w/w)
- Justification for choice of vehicle: In the diet, higher dosing was possible, due to the voluminous character of the test material.

10
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: regularly
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Any other information on results incl. tables

Most animals consumed the supplemented diet quantitatively. No clinical symptoms or other pathological findings following an autopsy. No diarrhea, stool changed colour to  grey, but showed normal consistency with faecal pellets considerably bigger than normal.
