- The Body weight gains, food consumption intervals, and haematology and clinical chemistry variables were analysed using 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Pairwise comparisons against the control, for each sex separately, were made using Dunnett's test.
For each variable and for each sex separately a regression test was performed to determine whether there was a linear relationship between increasing dose and response. Where this showed a significant result (P < 0.05) and any of the pairwise comparisons were also significant then the regression result was not reported.
Levene's test for equality of variances across groups, between sexes and for any interaction was also performed. When these tests showed evidence of group effects or a sex-group interaction (P<0.01), either the data were re-analysed using the same methods after applying a log-transformation, or using non-parametric methods for each sex separately. The methods used were the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, the Terpstra-Jonckheere test for a dose-related trend and the Wilcoxon rank sum test for pairwise comparisons.
Where Levene's test showed evidence of heterogeneous variances between the sexes only (P<0.01), then a one-way ANOVA, regression test and Dunnett's test were performed for each sex separately.

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no deaths during the study and the only clinical signs were as a result of reduced food consumption in certain animals
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
In both sexes there was a significant, dose related reduction in body weight gain over the first 4 weeks of treatment. In the Group 4 animals this led to a dose-related decrease in body weight gain which resulted in losses in absolute body weight
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
Group 2 (150 mg/kg/day) animals ate similar amounts of food to both the controls and pre-dose values over the treatment period.
In Group 3 (500 mg/kg/day) and Group 4 (750 mg/kg/day) there was a statistically significant reduction in food consumption, which was apparent by Week 1 and resulted in individual animals having food available overnight and having food supplementation. Over the remaining study period animals were closely monitored for food consumption and body condition, so by Week 11 no animals were receiving supplementation and all were an a normal feeding regime.
However, over the complete treatment period the Group 3 and 4 consumptions were still reduced by up to 25 % when compared to controls the reduction was statistically significant in the Group 4 animals.
The calculation for dietary test substance intake expressed as mg/kg bodyweight/day based around the worst case scenario noted in week 2, show ranges of dietary intake of 4-5, 9-20 and 12-31 mg/kg bodyweight/day for the treated groups in ascending order. The variation noted in Groups 3 and 4 relate to the changes observed in the food consumption values.
Mean test substance intake calculated on nominal dose level:
0, 6, 20, 30 mg a.i./kg bw./day
Test substance intake corrected for recovery*:
0, 4, 15, 22 mg a.i./kg bw./day
*: worst case recovery in week two diets.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Observed effects of dietary Aciticide 14 administration on body weight and food consumption were most probably the result of the poor palatability of diets rather than any systemic toxicity. The NOAEL is thus 22 mg a.i./kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
The toxic potential of a13.9 % aqueous solution of a 3:1 mixture of 5 -chloro-2 -methyl-2H-isothiazol-3 -one and 2 -methyl-2H-isothiazol-3 -one in water (named Acticide 14 in this study report) was evaluated in a 90 day repeated dose dietary toxicity study in rats according to OECD guideline 409. Male and female beagle dogs were treated with the test item by dietary administration over a period of 90 days. The animals were observed for clinical signs, alterations in body weight and food consumption throughout the study period. At selected timepoints before and during the study, blood was collected for haematology and clinical chemistry. At the end of the treatment period, the animals were sacrificed and subjected to detailed macroscopic and microscopic pathological examination.
A dose-dependent loss of bodyweight and reduction in food consumption was observed, while all other observed alterations/abnormalities could not be related to treatment and were considered incidental. The applied doses could analytically not be verified, and thus the exposure doses of the test animals were calculated from the worst-case recovered values.
The observed effects on body weight gain were only seen at the two highest doses and were probably the result of the poor palatability of the diet rather than any toxic properties of Acticide 14. This view is supported by the palatability effects noted in a dose ranging study (CHE Study No 1154/57, pilot dietary study in dog) and by the fact that manipulation of the feeding regime, together with short periods of meat supplements, improved food consumption. This improvement would not have been observed if there had been any central depression of the appetite.
In conclusion, the effects an body weight and food consumption were most probably the result of the poor palatability of diets containing Acticide 14 rather than any systemic toxicity. It can therefore be concluded that there was no evidence of organ or systemic toxicity when Acticide 14 was offered in the diet at a analysed dose level up to 555 ppm (nominal concentration 750 ppm) which is equivalent to 22 mg ai/kg body weight/day (30 mg ai/kg body weight/day) to the laboratory beagle for up to 13 weeks.
