5LK7 - Callitrichid High Fiber Diet
Product SheetDescription
Callitrichid High Fiber Diet is a fiber-rich diet formulated to promote healthy weight management in marmosets and tamarins in a laboratory setting. This diet is a complete life cycle diet that can be fed as the sole source of nutrients or supplemented with fruits, vegetables and/or other dietary enrichment. It contains vitamin D3 and stabilized vitamin C needed to support captive primates. Provided in powder form, the diet must be mixed with near-boiling water to create a highly palatable, readily consumed gel. The selection of highest quality ingredients assures minimal inherent biological variation in long-term studies.
- Available as a convenient powder to form a palatable, soft and moist product when mixed with near-boiling water.
- High fiber content promotes healthy weight maintenance of primates, especially those who are more mature, or less active.
- Complete life cycle diet meets NRC Non-Human Primate recommendations for minerals and vitamins.
- Contains natural, highly available form of vitamin E.
- Inclusion of stabilized form of vitamin C allows for long-term storage.

Feed intake will vary based on age, body size and reproductive status. A targeted level of 2.5%-3.0% powder per kg of animal body weight per day is recommended. Never feed dry powder without combining with water; see mixing directions below. Callitrichid High Fiber Diet can be fed in combination with fruit, vegetables, browse or other food items. Callitrichid High Fiber Diet has a 9 month shelf life in the dry powder form when stored in a cool (<72° F), dry (<50% RH) environment. The prepared gel may be stored in a sealed container for 1 week in a refrigerator or 1 month in a freezer.
Mixing Directions
1. Mix, by weight, 60% water to 40% Callitrichid High Fiber Diet. Mix thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk for one minute.
2. Pour into a shallow pan and allow to cool. Refrigerate until firm. This should have the consistency of a firm cheesecake.
3. Cut into pieces appropriately sized for the animals being fed.
4. To obtain a drier, firmer mix, combine at a rate of 50% water to 50% Callitrichid High Fiber Diet.
