Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Vienna White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Gaukler, D-6050 Offenbach/Main, FRG.
- Weight at study initiation: males: 2.99 and 3.47 kg, female: 3.05 kg.
- Housing: Individually in stainless steel cages with wire mesh walk floor (floor area: 40 cm x 51 cm). No bedding in the cages; sawdust in the waste trays.
- Diet: Ovator Solikanin 4 mm; Muskator-Werke, D-4000 Düsseldorf 1, FRG (about 130 g per animal daily).
- Water: About 250 mL tap water per animal daily.
- Acclimation period: About 8 days before the beginning of the study in the skin laboratory; same housing conditions as during the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 24.
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h/12 h (6.00a.m. - 18.00p.m./18 p.m. - 8a.m.).

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin sites of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL of the undiluted test liquid
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Clipping of fur at least 15 hours before the beginning of the study.
- Application area: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm.
- Application site: Upper third of the region of the back or flank.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Removal of the test substance: At the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1 : 1).

OTHER
- Additional examinations: After sacrifice the animals are examined by gross pathology. If there are clinical signs of necroses, these are confirmed by
gross- pathological examination after incision of the skin. (If there are differences between the clinical and pathological assessments, only the latter is included in the final report.)
