- Diet: powdered Wayne Lab Blox diet, ad libitum
- Water: available via an Edstrom automatic watering system, ad libitum

- oral: feed
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- DIET PREPARATION
- Rate of preparation of diet (frequency): at least every 14 days
- Mixing appropriate amounts with (Type of food): chemical was mixed with aliquot of powdered Wayne Lab Blox animal feed, placing the mixture in a Petterson-Kelly twin-shell intensifier bar V-blender with the remainder of the feed and mix for 10 minutes
- Storage temperature of food: 4 °C for no longer than 14 days - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The amounts of the test substance in 12500 and 25000 ppm samples were determined by vapour phase chromatography. One-gram samples of each of the above mixtures were triturated twice with 50-mL portions of methanol. The supernatant solutions were combined and diluted to a volume of 100 mL and analyzed. The mean of the analytical concentration was usually within 10% of the theoretical.

Basis:
other: actual ingested (recalculated based on food consumption). Only the corresponding values to 6300 ppm were given in the study report. The other doses were calculated with the mean food consumption used to calculate these given values.
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 10 males and 10 females
- Control animals:
- yes, plain diet
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: doses used are based on an acute study and a 14 day study
(groups of five rats per sex were treated with five dose levels of the test substance in feed (up to 100000 ppm) for 14 days, followed by 1 day of observation with control diet. 1 group per sex were maintained as untreated controls. All surviving animals were killed after 15 days.
