No. of animals per sex per dose:
2 groups, 3 femalesper group
Details on study design:
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality / Viability observed daily during acclimatization period, during the first 30 min and approx. 1, 2, 3, 5 hours after administration on test day 1 and twice daily during days 2-15. Body weight observed on test days 1, 8 and 15. Clinical signs observed daily during acclimatization period, during the first 30 min and approx. 1, 2, 3, 5 hours after administration on test day 1 and once daily during days 2-15

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
All animals survived until the end of the study period.
Clinical signs:
No clinical signs observed during the course the of study.
