Remarks on result:
other: according to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be 2500 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
1/6 females was found dead on Day 3 of the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: Hunched posture and/or piloerection were noted for the animals between Days 1 and 3. Additionally, lethargy, flat posture, slow breathing, shallow respiration and hypothermia were noted for the animal found dead on Days 1 and/or 2.
Gross pathology:
No toxicologically relevant abnormalities were found at macroscopic examination of the animals.
