- Details on oral exposure:
- DIET PREPARATION
- Rate of preparation of diet (frequency): A mixture of test material and canine diet was prepared weekly, portions of the diet mixture were diluted 9:1 (water:feed) daily for dose
administration.
- Mixing appropriate amounts with (Type of food): Purina® Certified Canine Diet Meal
- Storage temperature of food: Room temperature - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Samples of dosing slurries that were prepared prior to the initiation of the study were analyzed for test article homogeneity and for Day 0 stability analyses. These samples were obtained from the top, middle, and bottom of dosing slurries prepared for each treatment group.
Samples of the dosing slurries prepared from dietary mixes 7 and 14 days after preparation of the dietary mixes from the pretreatment diet mix were evaluated for stability.
Samples of the test article/diet mix prepared pretreatment and weekly during the study were retained frozen. Samples of the dosing slurries for each group for Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 50, 78, 106, 134, 162, 190, 218, 246, 274, 302, 330, and 358 were analyzed for verification of concentration. Samples of the dosing slurries from Groups 1-3 for Days 2 and 3 were analyzed for verification of concentration because the values obtained on Day 1 were more than 10 % below target.
The analytical method used for the test material in a 9:1 water:feed slurry was UV-VIS spectrophotometry.
Results from the homogeneity analyses revealed that the dosing slurries were homogeneous having a % relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 5 %. Stability data also indicate that the test material was stable in feed for at least 14 days. Analyses of the prepared dosing slurries prepared on Day 1 revealed low concentrations of the test material for Groups 2 and 3 which were 66.5 and 86.2 % of target, respectively. These levels were then remixed on Day 2 and the resultant dosing slurries were found to still be low (80.6 and 81.6 % of target for Groups 2 and 3, respectively). These levels were again remixed on Day 3 and concentrations were then within acceptable limits. Verification of concentrations results for the remainder of the study indicated that the dosing slurries were within acceptable limits (+/- 10 % of target) with the exception of the Day 15 and Day 50 Group 3 mixes which were slightly lower (88.1 and 89.8 % of target, respectively). - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- SACRIFICE AND GROSS PATHOLOGY
After 52 weeks of treatment, all surviving animals were weighed, anesthetized with sodium thiamylal, and exsanguinated. Necropsies were performed on each animal (including Group 2 male No. 26729 which was found dead) by trained personnel under the direct supervision of a pathologist.
Findings were recorded.
The necropsy included examination of the following:
external surface
all orifices
cranial cavity
carcass
external surface of the brain and spinal cord and the cut surfaces of the spinal cord (at necropsy); the cut surfaces of the brain were examined at the time of tissue trimming
nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities and their viscera
cervical tissues and organs
ORGAN WEIGHTS
For each terminally sacrificed animal, the following organs (when present) were weighed following careful dissection and trimming to remove fat and other contiguous tissue in a uniform manner:
adrenals
brain with brainstem
heart
kidneys
liver with drained gallbladder
ovaries
pituitary
spleen
testes with epididymides
thyroid/parathyroids
Using these values, the organ-to-body-weight ratios were calculated.

skin
skeletal muscle (thigh)
spleen
sternum with bone marrow

thymus
thyroid with parathyroids
trachea
urinary bladder (urinary bladders were inflated with formalin for examination after fixation)
uterus
HISTOPATHOLOGY
The aforementioned tissues were embedded in paraffin, sectioned, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined microscopically from all animals. - Other examinations:
- None.
- Statistics:
- Parametric variables were intercompared for the dose and control groups using Levene’s test for homogeneity of variance and by analysis of variance. Non-parametric data were transformed by log10, square, square root, reciprocal, angular (arcsine), or rank transformation. Dunnett’s test was used to compare significant results from the analysis of variance.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were generally higher incidences of emesis, salivation, and soft/mucoid/liquid faeces in the two higher dose groups than in the low dose group and control. The incidence of these clinical signs was high at 30 mg/kg bw/day but decreased to tolerable levels when dosage was lowered to 20 mg/kg bw/day. One animal in the 3 mg/kg bw/day died on Day 42 due to gavage error. All other animals survived to study termination.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence):

The incidence of these clinical signs was high at 30 mg/kg bw/day but decreased to tolerable levels when dosage was lowered to 20 mg/kg bw/day. One animal in the 3 mg/kg bw/day died on Day 42 due to gavage error. All other animals survived to study termination.
