Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Fischer 344
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
ANIMALS
Source: Charles River UK
Age: 9-11 weeks
Housing: singly in stainless steel cages
Food: ad libitum, PRD, Labsure Animal Foods, and water
Temperature: 19-25 degrees C
Lighting: 12 hour light dark cycle

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
All animals were fasted for 18 hours prior to dosing. Dosing was by gavage using a ballpoint needle fitted to a syringe. After dosing the animals were given food and water ad libitum.
Doses:
5000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The test material was administered undiluted. Five rats of each sex were given doses of 5000 mg/kg.
Rats 9-11 weeks old at the time the test commenced. All animals were fasted overnight. Dosing was by gavage using a ballpoint needle fitted to a syringe. After dosing the animals were given food and water ad libitum and observed for clinical signs three times a day for the first three days and daily for the remainder of the 14 day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the test material in rats, administered undiluted, was greater than 5000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

None of the rats died from which it was concluded that the acute oral LD50 of EPIKOTE 862, administered undiluted, was greater than 5000 mg/kg.

All rats were affected by the test material. Most had piloerection and diarrhea on day 1. All rats had an unkempt appearance on subsequent days. Females recovered by day 4, but males did not recover until day 6.All rats had gained weight relative to their day 1 bodyweights by the end of the 14 day observation period.
