<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 />
