T-2 toxin administered intraperitoneally to mice at 1 and 1.5 mg/kg caused significant maternal mortality and decreased prenatal survival. Foetal weights were reduced on days 7, 10 and 11. Gross malformations involved the tail and limbs, exencephaly, open eye and retarded jaw development occurred particularly in foetuses from females treated on days 9, 10 or 11. Ribs and vertebral malformations were seen in foetuses exposed on days 9 and 10.
