Teklad Swine Diets are natural-ingredient diets
specifically formulated to provide the proper balance of all known
nutrients considered essential for the growth, maintenance, and
reproduction of swine.
Teklad Swine Diets provide uniform nutrition through
fixed-formula diets designed to minimize the nutrient variances
which otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of the
diets were altered from one batch to the next.
Protein supplied by fish and plant sources combined with
supplemental amino acids provide the proper amount and balance of
essential amino acids required by research swine.
Teklad Swine Diets are fortified appropriately with vitamins
and minerals to help support the regulation of body fluids and the
proper functioning of the body system to ensure adequate growth,
maintenance, and reproduction of research swine.
Teklad Swine Diets are formulated and manufactured without
artificial preservatives, anti-caking agents, or other additives
which otherwise may influence the results of certain types of
research studies.
Shelf Life - The recommended shelf life of Teklad
Swine Diets is six months from the date of manufacture. However,
shelf life may be affected by storage conditions. Optimum shelf
life can be achieved by storing the diets in a cool, dry, pest-free
area away from hazardous materials.
Feeding directions - Weaning pigs should be
allowed ad libitum access to diet. Adults should be fed at a rate
of 2% - 3% of their body weight per day. Fresh, clean water should
always be available.
