Species: Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
Chemical Toxicity Endpoint Type Endpoint Description Endpoint Value Sample Size Life Cycle Stage Study Duration Type
BORIC ACID TOX-REPRO - reproductive success % hatching success in fertile eggs and productivity per female (mean # of 21 d old ducklings) decrease @ 1000 ppm 15/sex/dose Adult 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-REPRO - physiology eggshell thickness and Ratcliffe index of eggshell quality no effect 15/dose Adult 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-REPRO - development % embryo mortality (day 15 to hatch) and duckling mortality (hatch to day 7) increase @ 1000 ppm 11-23/dose Both Adults and Juveniles 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-REPRO - development body weight of hatchlings, compared to controls decrease @ 300, 1000 ppm 11-23/dose Hatchling 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-Non-Repro-Sublethal - whole animal hatchling weight gain over 21 d, compared to controls decrease @ 30, 300, 1000 ppm 11-23/dose Hatchling 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-EXP IND - accumulation boron concentrations in adult tissues (geometric mean; ug/g dry weight). Egg; 3 ug/g @ 30 ppm, 13 ug/g @ 300 ppm, 49 ug/g @ 1000 ppm: Liver; 15 ug/g @ 300 ppm, 33 ug/g @ 1000 ppm: Brain; 14 ug/g @ 300 ppm, 41 ug/g @ 1000 ppm 10-20/dose Adult 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
BORIC ACID TOX-EXP IND - accumulation boron concentrations in ducklings 21 d of age (geometric mean; ug/g dry weight). Concentrations at other doses were not detected. Liver; 3 ug/g @ 30 ppm, 17 ug/g @ 300 ppm, 51 ug/g @ 1000 ppm: Brain; 4 ug/g @ 30 ppm, 19 ug/g @ 300 ppm, 66 ug/g @ 1000 ppm 10-13/dose Juvenile 3 wks (pre-breeding) + breeding period to 21 d post-hatch Toxicity Factor Datasets
