not specified
95% CL:
>= 825 - <= 1 355
Clinical signs:
other: all animals showed hunched posture, lethargy, pilo-erection and decreased respiratory rate. Additional or isolated signs of toxicity noted were red/bronw staining around the snout, ataxia, pallor of the extremities, ptosis and occasionally body tremors. S
Gross pathology:
Abnormalities noted at necropsy if decedents included abnormally red lungs, dark diver of patchy pallor of the liver, dark kidneys, haemorrage of the glandular gastric epitelium and haemorrhage of the glandular gastric epithelium and haemorrage of the small intestine. No abnormalities were noted at the necropsy of animals killed at the end of the study except for an isolate incident of rights hydronephrosis.
