<strong>AMMONIUM</strong> <strong>SULFATE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>7783</strong>-<strong>20</strong>-2<br />

DATE: 18.04.<strong>20</strong>06<br />

Test condition: This study was designed to investigate pulmonary defense<br />

mechanism. Pulmonary macrophage numbers were evaluated.<br />

Six sulfate-exposed hamsters were killed immediately after<br />

exposure and 6 and 24 hours later. Control animals were<br />

studied in the same manner.<br />

Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Test substance:<br />

other: LDL0<br />

cattle<br />

other TS: ammonium sulfate<br />

Result:<br />

Experimental results show that a heifer and a cow were killed<br />

by giving them 40 g and 150 g of ammonium sulfate<br />

respectively, and further showed that the toxic effect after<br />

ingestion of the salt was less than after its subcutaneous<br />

injection. Signs of poisoning were severe colic, groaning,<br />

staggering, forced rapid breathing, a very marked<br />

jugularpulse, and death after violent struggling and<br />

bellowing. On post mortem examination in cattle, large<br />

hemorrhagic patches on mucous membranes of stomach and<br />

intestines with edema and ulceration of intestinal mucous<br />

membrane. Liver was enlarged, pale and friable; blood fluid<br />

lighter in color than normal; and there were numerous<br />

petechiae in skin and throughout carcass.<br />

1785 mg/kg<br />

other TS: ammonium sulfate<br />

Result:<br />

Ammonium sulfate did not induce symptoms of any kind in a112<br />

kg calf when given up to <strong>20</strong>0 g of pure ammonium sulfate as a<br />

drench. However, deaths in cattle have been described<br />

following contamination of oil-cake with ammonium sulfate.<br />

Another case involved deaths of 5 dairy cows which had<br />

consumed ammonium sulfate owing to manure drills having been<br />

cleaned out on part of pasture.<br />
