Dietary Concentration:

The nominal amounts of AE 1170437 technical in the dietary feed were administered at levels of 0 (control), 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg feed. The average measured amounts of AE 1170437 technical for Week’s 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 were determined as 0, 252, 524, and 1023 mg ai/kg feed representing percent nominal values of 101%, 105%, and 102%, respectively. These values correspond to daily dietary dose levels of 0, 26, 54, and 111 mg ai/kg bw/day, respectively. A summary of the dietary concentrations are included in the following table.

Adult Quail Clinical observations of adult birds exhibited no treatment related signs of toxicity. Adult mortality for the study included one control female bird with no mortality occurring in the treatment birds. There were no treatment–related mortalities, overt signs of toxicity or treatment-related effects upon body weight or feed consumption with the exception of feather loss and minor injuries as a result of cage wear. There were no compound related symptoms of toxicity in the adults and offspring.

Description of key information

No biologically effects could be observed in birds up to the highest test concentration of the test substance. Therefore, based on the available information, there is no indication for bioaccumulation of the substance or secondary poisoning.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

After single oral application LD50 values of >2000 mg /kg diet were obtained in studies with northern bobwhite quails and zebra finch. Neither mortality nor clinical signs of toxicity occurred in any study. Short-term (5 -day) feeding resulted in LC50 values of > 5000 ppm (diet) in the northern bobwhite quail and the mallard duck. Neither mortality nor clinical signs of intoxication attributable to the test substance were observed in any study. In two reproduction studies, one with northern bobwhite quail and the other with mallard ducks, the NOAEL for systemic and reproductive toxicity was considered to be > 1000 ppm (diet), which is the limit dose according to the OECD testing guideline. The substance showed a very low acute, short- and long-term hazard potential to birds as evidenced by endpoint data being above or equal the limit doses as specified in the corresponding testing guidelines. All studies referred to herein have been conducted according to the prevailing OECD or US EPA testing guidelines and GLP.
