Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / toxicity
English term or phrase: 20 dams per dose
It is a toxicological study on a medicinal substance. In the section "Experimental Design", this phrase appears. Dam could be damage... but I don´t think it would be that translation in this context.

Thank you

Explanation:
dam is the female of an animal species(usually a mother).So I'd say that here we have experimental (treated) groups composed by 20 female (and possibly pregnant) individuals each. I've often encountered such expressions in research work (e.g. the so called "dominant lethal" method in toxicology).
(Please excuse my answewing in English, but Spanish is barely sufficient to get the hang of a thread...)

Explanation:
Sino una idea que no sé si te servirá y que he encontrado, ya que es un estudio de toxicología igual por aquí pueden ir los tiros, suerte:

DESINTOXICACION DEL MICROMERCURIALISMO PRODUCIDO POR LAS OBTURACIONES DE AMALGAMA:
el medicamento se llama DIMAVAL o DMPS.
En los casos mas severos de intoxicación (en inglés: "Dental Amalgam Mercury Syndrome - DAMS" ) en ocasiones no es suficiente solamente la descontaminación con oligoelementos, vitaminas, antioxidantes y medicamentos homeopáticos .
