the acute toxicity study by the dermal route does not indicate skin irritation up to the limit dose level (2000 mg/kg buffalo weight)
Does anyone has any idea what buffalo weight means? if 'buffalo' can be translated as if we are talking about the animal, or whether the whole term means something else.

: If you talk about rats, e.g., you don't write "100 mg/kg rat weight" either, but: "100 mg/kg b.w. (body weight)". The typical unit for toxicological studies. (1 kg of a rat is (physically) equal to 1 kg of a buffalo)//see my note in the Asker field.

What are you saying?- xx/ kg body weight; how you actually write it in the text/ manuscript or leaflet instruction that accompany the drug package, depends on journal policy of publisher and/or regulatory bodies ea. IACUC - http://www.iacuc.org/

I think it is a transcription error.
I don't think buffalo are normally used for toxicity studies. ;-)

: b.w. = body weight (IMHO)

Thank you MMUIr. If it turns out that they were actually studying buffalo, it would still be an unusual way to express the skin irritant dose.

2000 mg per 1 kg of that buffalo's weight which experiment is being done on it. So 'buffalo' should be translated as if we are talking about the kind of animal the experiment was made on it.
