Specialty Feeds: SF06-053 Soy Free Rat and Mouse Cubes

Diet: SF06-053 Soy Free Rat and Mouse Cubes

A fixed formulation diet for laboratory rodents of all ages, based on our standard Rat & Mouse diet but free of Soya meal or lupins.

This diet was formulated to reduce phytoestrogen content. Gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry analysis indicates a range of phytosterols are present, however in bioassays the activity is very low or not detectable.
Although several research groups have been using the diet for some time as a low phytoestrogen diet, care must be taken in contemplating the use of this diet as completely free of phytosterols activity.
To be confident of a truly phtyosterol free diet we would recommend the semi-pure diet AIN93G.
Diet formulation was changed June 2006 from SF00-214 to SF06-053 to increase pellet strength.
