Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

Details on results (P0)

F1+F2: There were no effects on conception, litter size and survival, stillborn, body weights and gain, lactation index.

F1+F2: There were no effects on number of corpora lutea, resorptions and implantations (on day 13); conception, live and dead foetuses, weight of
foetuses, gross and microscopic inspection of organs for abnormalities (day 21).

Conception varied from 86% (F2) to 97% (F1), with control 92-95%.

See for further details the in section 13 attached IUCLID4 data set.
