Laboratory Porcine Managed Growth Diet is formulated to meet nutritional requirements of pigs through all stages of life starting around 8 weeks of age. This complete life-cycle formula supports growth, breeding, and maintenance of both mini-pig and commercial swine breeds in a laboratory setting. Formula contains higher fiber to target lower total dietary energy compared to commercial grower diets. High fiber content allows animals to satisfy hunger on less feed, targeting slower growth and promoting healthy weight. Does not contain animal-origin ingredients. 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.
