Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 4 244 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: Corresponds to 4000 cm³/kg; the mg/kg was calculated on the density d: d= 1.061 g/cm³. 1 male/3 females died within the first 24 h post exposure in this dose group.
Mortality:
5305 mg/kg bw: All females died within the first 24 h and 3 males died within 48 h.
4244 mg/kg bw: 1 male and 3 females died within the first 24 h.
3396 mg/kg bw: 1 male and 2 females died within the first 24 h.
1698 mg/kg bw: 1 animal died within 7 days.
Clinical signs:
5305 and 4244 mg/kg bw: high stepping gait, motor excitation, intermittent respiration, abdominal position and paresis (hindlimb), immediately after application; piloerrection, nose and eyes with reddish crusts, intermittent respiration, apathy and squatting posture until including day 3. No clinical signs and findings in the surviving animals from the fifth post observation day onward.

3396 and 1698 mg/kg bw: irregular respiration and squatting posture from hour 2 until hour 4 after application. Irregular respiration and piloerection until day 4. No clinical signs and findings in the surviving animals from the fifth post observation day onward.
Body weight:
no data
Gross pathology:
Animals that died:
5305 mg/kg bw: smeared fur (snout and anogenital region), dilatation of the stomach and intestine (partly filled with blood and liquid content).
4244 mg/kg bw: smeared fur (snout); dilatation of the stomach and intestine (partly filled with blood and liquid content).
3396 mg/kg bw: smeared fur (snout and anogenital region), diarrhea.
Animals examined at termination of the study: Organs without particular findings.
