Product Description2018SX Teklad Global 18% Protein Rodent Diet (Sterilizable) is a fixed formula, autoclavable extruded diet manufactured with high quality ingredients and designed to support gestation, lactation, and growth of rodents. 2018SX does not contain alfalfa, thus lowering the occurrence of natural phytoestrogens. Typical isoflavone concentrations (daidzein + genistein aglycone equivalents) range from 150 to 250 mg/kg. Exclusion of alfalfa reduces chlorophyll, improving optical imaging clarity. Absence of animal protein and fish meal minimizes the presence of nitrosamines. 2018SX is supplemented with additional vitamins to ensure nutritional adequacy after autoclaving and the extruded form helps reduce diet clumping and hardness.
