Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
reduced feed intake
Food efficiency:
not specified
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
effects observed, treatment-related
Details on results:
TOXIC RESPONSE/EFFECTS BY DOSE LEVEL: 
- Mortality and time to death: No mortalities
- Food/water consumption: Decreased (not quantified)
- Urinalysis:    Variations in quantity;    Nitrogen concentration approximately constant, increased upon repeated  exposure indicating increase of 
protein conversion rate;    Carbon  content and COD significantly increased;    No proteins found;    Dark discoloration only after repeated 
application or after application  of test substance not purified from hydroperoxides.
- Gross pathology: Yellow stained, slightly swelled kidneys and livers
- Histopathology: No findings in kidneys and livers
