Standard natural ingredient diets for a variety of laboratory animal species are comprised of agricultural commodities such as grains, and plant and animal proteins. These diets are used to meet the everyday needs of animal colonies for breeding, growth and maintenance. When carefully chosen, they also can support many research objectives.
The hallmark of all Teklad standard natural ingredient diets is our fixed formulation philosophy coupled with stringent ingredient procurement practices, followed by automated and controlled manufacturing practices. Regular, autoclavable, certified, and irradiated laboratory diets are among the many options.
