- Females nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: approx. 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 183 g (mean)
- Fasting period before study: Feed was withdrawn from the animals at least 16 hours before administration, but water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: Single housing, Makrolon cage, type III
- Bedding: H 15005-29; Ssniff, Spezialdiäten GmbH (Experimental Animal Diets Inc., 59494 Soest, Germany)
- Diet: VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany, ad libitum

- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30 – 70
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1.81 mL/ kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose:
By request of the sponsor a starting dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was chosen in the first step with 3 female animals. Because no mortality occurred, 2000 mg/kg bw were administered to another group of 3 female animals in the second step.
Doses:
2000 mg/ kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 (3 per test group)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation. Clinical signs for each animal were recorded several times on the day of administration and at least once during each workday thereafter. A check for any dead or moribund animals was made at least once each workday.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs
Statistics:
None
