Medicated Laboratory Animal Diets
Medications can be incorporated into almost any diet. Examples
of common medications include:
- Addition of Fenbendazole to rodent diet for the control of pin worm.
- Addition of coccidiostats to rabbit, poultry or ruminant
diets.
In our large scale plant the only medication we use is Fenbendazole. Following manufacture of fenbendazole diets we have a rigorous cleaning procedure aiming to eliminate residual medication.
Our small scale plant is specifically designed so that it can be taken
apart and cleaned thoroughly between batches of feed, this reduces the
risk of cross contamination. In this plant we can incorporate almost any
drug into diets, with some restrictions to ensure the safety of our staff.
In Australia a veterinary prescription is required for the
incorporation of medications into feeds.
