LD50
Effect level:
1.7 other: mL/100 g body weight
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
In the 0.8 mL/100 g-bw dose group there was no mortalities and in the 1.25 mL/100 g-bw group 2 of the 10 animals died. In the 2.00 mL/100 g-bw dose group 8 of the 10 animals died and in the 3.20 mL/100 g-bw and 5.0 mL/100 g-bw dose group all 10 of the animals died.
Clinical signs:
other: The animals died lying on tummy or flank, with breathing difficulties and cramps within 30 minutes to 24 hours after application.
Gross pathology:
The necropsy of the animals showed macroscopic strong chemical burns on the mucous membrane of the stomach.
