Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
not specified
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: male: 180 - 260 g; female: 144 - 210 g

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Doses:
200, 1600, 3200, 4000, 5000, 6400 mL/kg bw (208, 1664, 3328, 4160, 5200, 6656 mg/kg bw; conversion into mg/kg is based on the density d= 1.04 g/cm3 -according to BASF internal data)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
A test group consisting of 10 animals/sex was treated by single gavage application with an aqueous solution of the test substance. The animals were observed for mortality and for clinical symptoms of toxicity. At the end of the observation period of 7 days, the surviving animals were sacrificed for the purpose of necropsy; animals that died during the observation period also were subjected to necropsy.
