- Rate of preparation of diet (frequency): Freshly each week
- Mixing appropriate amounts with (Type of food): Powdered diet was mixed with dry extract of malt (Diamalt C) in the ratio of 85 % food to 15 % malt extract by weight. A premix of powdered diet and compound was prepared for each dose level. The premix was then thoroughly mixed with the bulk diet to produce the required concentrations of the test substance. 15 % Water was added and the mixture passed through a mincer. The pellets so produced were dried for approximately 12 hours at a temperature not exceeding 45°C. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Thirty rats (15 males and 15 females) of the 20000 ppm dose group and of the control group, respectively, were examined in detail. The lungs of several rats in both groups showed evidence of mild chronic murine pneumonia and in many livers small fat droplets were seen in individual parenchymal cells in Sudan stained frozen sections. Spleens invariably showed moderate haemosiderosis and extra medullary haematopoiesis and nematode parasites were frequently observed in the lumen of the large intestine. Changes referable to the test substance were not found, as there was no significant difference in the incidence or severity of any of the above changes between test and control animals.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- RECOVERY EXPERIMENT
No deaths and no clinical symptoms were recorded. Laboratory parameters were all within normal limits. Body weight gains and food consumption were within normal limits. The apparent fall in body weights of male animals in group 1 (control)
during the recovery period is due to the fact that the five animals had a lower average starting weight than the remainder of that group. No treatment induced changes were seen at autopsy. In view of the negative findings in group 4 (20000 p.p.m.) of the main study, no histopathological examination was carried out in group 5 (20000 p.p.m.).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results presented, the NOAEL was set at 1297.3 mg/kg body weight in rats, which was the highest concentration tested in this study.
- Executive summary:
The test article was administered in the diet to rats at levels of 0, 5000, 10,000 and 20,000 p.p.m. (equivalent to an average daily intake of 0, 311, 594.5 and 1297.3 mg/kg body weight), for not less than 91 days. No deaths occurred and no clinical symptoms were recorded. Body weight gains and food consumption were within normal limits and, in treated groups, comparable to controls.
No important differences were seen between groups in respect of haematology, clinical chemistry and urine analysis parameters.
Ophthalmic examination did not reveal any eye changes caused by treatment. Neither at autopsy nor on histopathological examination were any changes referable to the administration of the test item seen. Organ weights (both absolute and relative) were comparable in all groups. In the recovery group, no deaths and no clinical symptoms were recorded. Laboratory parameters were all within normal limits. Body weight gains anc food consumption were within normal limits. The apparent fall in body weights of male animals in group 1 (control) during the recovery period was due to the fact that the five animals had a lower average starting weight than the remainder of that group. No treatment induced changes were seen at autopsy. In view of the negative findings in group 4 (20,000 p.p.m.) of
the main study, no histopathological examination was carried out in group 5 (20,000 p.p.m.). Based on these findings, a NOAEL was set at 1297.3 mg/kg body weight in rats, which was the highest concentration tested in this study.
