Highly palatable ingredients and high fiber content allows animals to satisfy hunger on less feed, promoting healthy weight during breeding and pregnancy. Does not contain animal-origin ingredients. This diet is 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.
