5048 - Certified Primate Diet

Product Sheet

Description

Certified Primate Diet is a complete life-cycle diet for all Old World and New World primates. Designed to be similar in nutrient composition to High Protein Monkey Diet (5045/5047) and meet contaminant requirements for GLP studies. It fulfills the nutrient requirements of each life stage but is formulated to contain a higher level of protein compared to other non-human primate diets offered by LabDiet®. This formulation targets the higher-end protein requirement of primates which may be advantageous for certain species or life stages that benefit from a higher plane of nutrition. It contains vitamin D3 and stabilized vitamin C needed to support captive primates housed either indoor or outdoor. This diet is formulated using managed formulation, delivering Constant Nutrition®. This is paired with the selection of highest quality ingredients to assure minimal inherent biological variation in long-term studies. Prior to shipment, a sample of this product is assayed for environmental contaminants.

  • Managed Formulation delivers Constant Nutrition®.
  • Increased protein can benefit energy-demanding life stages like growth and reproduction.
  • High quality animal protein added to create a superior balance of amino acids for optimum performance.
  • Highly palatable, readily consumed.
  • Inclusion of stabilized form of vitamin C allows for long-term storage.
  • Pre-analysis monitoring, Constant Nutrition® formulation, along with the selection of highest quality ingredients, assures maximum diet control.

Primates generally consume about 2% to 4% of their body weight in food each day. The daily food allowance should be given in equal portions twice during the day to prevent wastage. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times. The use of fruit, vegetables or other supplements is optional and is not necessary. The date of product manufacture is found at the bottom of the back panel of the bag.
