LabDiet
Quality Laboratory Foods
As a world leader in laboratory animal nutrition, LabDiet feed nutritionists are committed to conducting innovative research programs. The company has a long and proud history of close collaboration with life science investigators worldwide. In fact, LabDiet products have been the nutritional baseline used by researchers for over 70 years!
The quality and integrity of the inputs used in dietary products are critical. LabDiet carefully and thoroughly approves every ingredient and packaging supplier before adding them to their authorized supplier list. LabDiet monitors their performance to ensure that quality standards are maintained. All ingredient protocols are part of FSSC 22000 certification documentation.
Standard Diets
Standard diets are comprised of natural “multi-nutrient” ingredients—largely grains—in which each ingredient may provide many different nutrients.
Certified Diets
LabDiet offers certified products that are GLP-compliant. A compilation of samples are taken at the time of manufacture to be analyzed. The product does not get released from the plant until that certification comes back and the diet has “passed.” Copies of the certification profile for a specific batch are also always available on LabDiet’s website. Or just ask us here at ASAP and we’ll obtain it for you!
Irradiated Diets
LabDiet also offers PicoLab diets. All diets with this name are irradiated prior to leaving the facility. This eliminates the need to autoclave a diet. Unlike autoclavable diets, irradiated diets do not need to be fortified with select vitamins because there is very minimal to no loss during the irradiation process.
Advanced Protocol Diets
Finally, Advanced Protocol diets are those that were designed for more specialized research, like that of phytoestrogens or studies looking at endocrine disruptors. All of these diets were researched and developed at LabDiet’s research facility or in collaboration with outside institutions to define or evaluate key variables.
