Feed ad libitum to rodents. Plenty of fresh, clean water should be available to the
animals at all times. Refer to the "Animal Care and Biological Values" section
of this manual for detailed feeding directions.
Rats-All rats will eat varying amounts of feed depending on
their genetic origin. Larger strains will eat between 15-30 grams per day. Smaller strains
will eat between 12-15 grams per day. Feeders in rat cages should be designed to hold two
to three days supply of feed at one time.
Mice-Adult mice will eat 4 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.

* Product Code
1. Based on the latest ingredient analysis information. Since nutrient composition
of natural ingredients varies, analysis will differ accordingly.
2. Nutrients expressed as percent of ration except where otherwise indicated.
Moisture content is assumed to be 10.0% for the purpose of calculations.
3. NDF = approximately cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin.
4. ADF = approximately cellulose and lignin.
5. Physiological Fuel Value (kcal/gm) = Sum of decimal fractions of protein, fat and
carbohydrate (use Nitrogen Free Extract) x 4,9,4 kcal/gm respectively.
