Details on results:
FOOD EFFICIENCY
Poor food efficiency during exposure in the 200 mg/kg bw/day groups. During the post-exposure period the food efficiency was normal.

HAEMATOLOGY
Males in the 200 mg/kg bw/d group had a slightly increased erythrocyte level. Irregularities in the blood values of male and female animals were
observed. The prothrombin time was longer in the 200 mg/kg bw/d dose groups and in males dosed with 50 mg/kg bw/d.

GROSS PATHOLOGY
Increased liver weight in animals dosed with 200 mg/kg bw/d.

HISTOPATHOLOGY:
No deviations were reported.
