male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

act. ingr.

Mortality:

All the animals of both sexes in the 5000 mg/kg groups died after 1 day of the post-exsposure period.

Clinical signs:

Dyspnea, slight to moderate ruffled fur and abnormal body positions were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests.
Additionally diarrhea was detected in the animals of the 2000 mg/kg dose group up to day 2 after the administration.
Sedation and diarrhea was observed in the animals of the 5000 mg/kg bw dose group.

Body weight:

Determined at day: 1, 7 and 14 and at each death.

Gross pathology:

No change in any organs and tissues.
