A well-balanced diet, along with plenty of clean, fresh water, is essential for proper animal nutrition. PMI® Nutrition International manufactures an extensive line of animal diets for research purposes, each carefully formulated and tested to accommodate all nutritional requirements of laboratory animals. These requirements, the major components of food, are briefly described to provide an overview of basic animal nutrition.
The influence of nutrition on the health , behavior and test reactions of laboratory animals cannot be overstated. Good nutrition, including all of the essentials discussed here, is the only way to ensure the growth, health, activity, reproduction and disease resistance of the animals you depend upon for reliable research results.
