Any other information on results incl. tables

All female rats showed increased salivation on administration day. In addition decreased motility, digging and cleaning movements and piloerection were noted on day 1 in 2/3 female animals.

One animal was sacrificed in moribund status on day 6 of the test. The death of this animal was provoked by incidental misapplication.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
LD50 of boldenone is > 2000 mg/kg, classification is not required
Executive summary:

The single oral administration of the boldenone (ZK 5320) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg resulted in increased salivation, decreased motility, digging, cleaning movements and piloerection in 2 out of 3 female animals. One rat was sacrificed in moribund status provoked by incidental misapplication. The acute oral toxicity of boldenome in rats is above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
