Specific details on test material used for the study:
TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: The formulation (w/w) was prepared within 4 hours prior to dosing. Homogeneity was accomplished to a visually acceptable level. Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle and test substance. In order to obtain homogeneity, the test substance formulation was heated in a water bath with a maximum temperature of 81.1 °C for a maximum of 1 hour and 37 minutes. The test substance formulation was allowed to cool down to a temperature of maximally 40 °C prior to dosing.

Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
One female was sacrificed for ethical reasons on Day 8 due to an excessive weight loss.
Clinical signs:
other: Lethargy was noted in 1/5 males on Day 2 and in 4/5 males on Day 1, and recurred in 2/5 males on Day 8. In females lethargy was observed in 3/5 females on Day 1, in 2/5 females on Days 7 or 8. Flat posture was observed in 1/5 males on Day 1. Hunched postu
Gross pathology:
The female that was sacrificed for ethical reasons on Day 8 showed a reduced size of the thymus at macroscopic post mortem examination. No abnormalities were observed at macroscopic post mortem examination in the 9 surviving animals.
