Examinations

Statistics:
Multiple comparison test:
Body weight, body weight gain, food consumption, hematology, blood chemistry, organ weight, number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, number of offspring

Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunnett-type multiple comparison test:
Days until copulation, number of estrus stages without copulation, mean estrous cycle length, gestation length, implantation index, delivery index, live birth index, incidence of offspring with external anomaly, viability index an Day 4

Chi-square test: Histopathological findings

Fisher's exact probability test:
Incidence of females with irregular estrous cycles, copulation index, fertility index, gestation index, sex ratio (rnale/fernale), incidence of dams with externally abnormal offspring
