Grain-Based Diets
The specific ingredients of our natural ingredient grain-based animal feeds (i.e., LabDiet®) naturally vary from batch to batch as we strive to achieve nutritional consistency, what we call "constant nutrition."™
Often we can meet your research needs by adding nutritional components to
standard grain-based food (i.e., our LabDiet® products). This
process is used often for adding fats, oils, cholesterol, and can be used to
add any nutrient(s), such as protein, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrate, and
fiber
When required by your research, we can also add medications and test compounds
to any diet, including standard grain-based diets, as well as custom diets,
both grain-based and purified
Alternatively, we can produce custom-formulated
grain-based diets
for you "from scratch," using standard multi-nutrient ingredients normally used
in such products, or substituting nutrient-specific ingredients (such as milk
casein as a protein source). This is particularly useful when you need a diet
comparable to one of our standard LabDiet® products, but with
certain components deleted from the formula (e.g., a diet with no added Vitamin
A, or no soy protein).
