Diet:
SF08-020 Maintenance Semi-Pure Rodent Diet (AIN93-M) For Irradiation
A semi-pure diet formulation for laboratory rats and mice
based on AIN-93M. This diet satisfies the maintenance
nutritional requirements for adult rats and mice. Some
modifications have been made to the original formulation to suit
locally available raw materials.
- At Specialty Feeds we have become increasingly
concerned about the effects of irradiation on vitamins in diets
based on AIN-93 formulations. We have some evidence of an apparent
deficiency in pregnant rats and mice when these diets have been
irradiated at 25 KGy. We have been able to overcome this problem by
increasing the vitamin inclusion rates of diets to be irradiated.
