TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Tuck and Sons Limited, Battlesbridge, Essex
- Weight at study initiation:150-250 gram
- Fasting period before study: night before dosing
- Housing: 5 per group
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water : ad libitum


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21-24
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 10/14

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
A range finding study was performed using one male and one female per group at: 0.06, 0.12, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mL/kg.
The animals were observed for 5 days and mortality was recorded.
Doses:
0.06, 0.19, 0.62 and 2.0 mL/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Animals were given a single oral dose of the test material at the levels given above, and were observed at 1/4, 1 and 4 hours and then once daily for fourteen days and the mortalities recorded. Evidence of overt toxicity was also noted.
One male and one female survivor from each group (where available) were subject to gross necropsy at termination of the study. Any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Statistics:
no data, expect calculation of 95% confidence limits.
