Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
dosage of 3150 to 4000 mg/kg bw no death occured. with 5000 mg/kg bw 2 males and 3 females died. the male animals died within the first day, the female animals died between day 9 and day 14.
Clinical signs:
other: ruffled coat, diminished activity, increased startle response, constricted eye lids, diarrhoe, gasping at the highest dose
Gross pathology:
intestine filled with white-yellowish pulp, accumulation of blood in the lung, thorax filled with red liquid, liver partly brighten

Any other information on results incl. tables

Male animals died within the first day post application, the female animals died between day 9 and day 14. In these animals the intestine with white-yellow pulp, lungs were hemorrhagicand thorax filled with red liquid. Until the second day post application clinical signs were seen in all dose groups, specially crouch, elevated startle response, ruff fur, constricted eye palpebral fissure and diarrhoea. Three days after application of the test substance no clinical signs were evident. Animals killed after post observation period (14 to 21 days) were free of maroscopic visible changes
