Diet:
SF09-091 Growth Semi-Pure Rodent Diet (AIN93-G) For Irradiation
A semi-pure diet formulation for laboratory rats and mice
based on AIN-93G. This diet satisfies the growth nutritional
requirements for 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
vitamin 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.
