5RA8 - Autoclavable Mouse 20 Extruded

Product Sheet

Description

Autoclavable Mouse 20 Extruded is formulated with 20% protein and 9% fat. It is designed for mouse colonies that may benefit from additional energy to maximize production in post-partum breeding, are exposed to higher stress levels, or many transgenic strains. This diet is fortified with vitamins to compensate for loss during autoclaving and contains silicon dioxide which reduces clumping.  This diet is a complete life cycle diet 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. LabDiet® 5RA8 is offered as an autoclavable extruded particle; pelleted and/or irradiated/non-irradiated options also available. 

  • Managed Formulation delivers Constant Nutrition®.
  • High quality animal protein added to create a superior balance of amino acids for optimum performance.
  • Designed to meet the energy needs of breeding mouse colonies, mice exposed to higher stress levels, and transgenic strains.
  • Similar formulation to LabDiet® 5058 but fortified with vitamins to account for losses during the autoclave process.
  • Coated with silicon dioxide to reduce sticking and clumping during autoclaving.

Feed ad libitum to rodents. Plenty of fresh, clean water should be available to the animals at all times.
Mice-Adult mice will eat up to 5 grams of pelleted ration daily. Some of the larger strains may eat as much as 8 grams per day per animal. Feed should be available on a free choice basis in wire feeders above the floor of the cage.
NOTE: Do not feed this or any other autoclavable diet prior to autoclaving.
