Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
no mortalities were observed
Clinical signs:
other: Piloerection and hunched posture were seen, being common symptoms in acute dermal tests. The animals recovered within 2 days.
Gross pathology:
At autopsy, a scurfy ear was noticed in one male. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals.
