作为一名研究人员,你想要有尽可能多的控制进入你的研究动物。在恩维戈,我们理解。这就是为什么我们开发了特克拉德全球啮齿动物饮食®.
特克拉德全球啮齿动物饮食®是一个特殊的综合素食实验室啮齿动物的饮食发展为营养完整的各个生命阶段,从繁殖到长期维持。全球啮齿动物实验室饮食中含有更适合现代生物医学研究需要的蛋白质、能量、维生素和矿物质水平。
此外,在全球啮齿类饮食中,人们特别注意尽可能避免使用据报对实验结果产生不利影响的成分。这导致了一系列特克拉德啮齿动物实验室饮食,其中包括:
- 无鱼粉
- 无肉食或肉类副产品
- 无苜蓿粉
- 不含豆粕或降低水平
- 无动物脂肪
通过排除动物副产品,避免了亚硝胺(一种潜在的致癌物)的存在.紫花苜蓿粉的排除降低了叶绿素,提高光学成像清晰度。减少或去除豆粕,加上消除紫花苜蓿粉,可使自然产生的植物雌激素水平降至最低。植物雌激素与内源性雌激素相互作用,可能对许多研究产生影响。研究领域。在以下几篇文章中可以了解更多关于这一点的内容:

并不是所有的产品都是在当地库存的,可能需要延长交货期和额外的费用。 许多饮食都是由符合产品代码的“C”指定的认证格式提供的。当饮食被认证时,一个有代表性的样本会被测试一组污染物。如果没有经过认证的库存,可以根据要求提供认证。可适用最低订货量和附加费用。 |
特克拉德全球啮齿动物饮食®现代公式旨在减少研究变量。具体来说,这些饮食含有更合适的营养水平,限制或排除据报道对各种研究终点有影响的成分。
特克拉德啮齿动物的饮食提供了统一的营养。它们是一种固定的配方奶饮食,旨在尽量减少营养差异,否则,如果一种饮食的成分组成从一批改变到下一批,就会发生这种变化。
蛋白质主要由植物来源提供。补充氨基酸是为了提供适当的数量和平衡的必需氨基酸。所有啮齿动物的饮食都含有维生素和矿物质,以帮助支持体液的调节和身体系统的正常运作,以确保研究鼠的充分生长、维持和繁殖。可蒸压饮食补充维生素,以弥补在高压灭菌过程中发生的损失。由于我们的饮食是营养完整和平衡的,所以没有必要添加膳食补充剂。
建议的储存条件:
- 凉爽和干燥;在华氏70度或以下,湿度最好在50%以下,但高达65%是可以接受的。
- 清洁无害虫
- 在原始包装中或容器中,防止连续暴露于光线下,并将空气暴露在最小范围内。
As a researcher, you want to have as much control as possible over what goes into your study animals. At Envigo, we understand that. That is why we developed Teklad Global Rodent Diets®.
Teklad Global Rodent Diets® are a special integrated range of vegetarian laboratory rodent diets developed to be nutritionally complete for various life stages from breeding through long-term maintenance. Global rodent laboratory diets contain levels of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals that are more appropriate to the needs of modern biomedical research studies.
Furthermore, in global rodent diets particular attention has been placed on avoiding, as far as practical, ingredients that are reported to have adverse confounding effects on experimental results. This has resulted in a range of Teklad rodent laboratory diets that contain:
- No fish meal
- No meat meals or meat by-products
- No alfalfa meal
- No soybean meal or reduced levels
- No animal fat
By excluding animal by-products, the presence of nitrosamines (a potential carcinogen) is avoided. Exclusion of alfalfa meal reduces chlorophyll, improving optical imaging clarity. Reduction or removal of soybean meal, together with elimination of alfalfa meal, minimizes levels of naturally-occurring phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens interact with endogenous estrogens and potentially can affect studies in many research areas. Read more about this in these pieces:

Not all products are stocked locally; extended lead time and additional fees may apply. Many diets are available in certified format designated by a “C” following the product code. When diets are certified a representative sample is tested for a panel of contaminants. If not stocked as certified, certification can be made available upon request. Minimum order size and additional charges may apply. |
Teklad Global Rodent Diets® are modern formulas designed to reduce research variables. Specifically, these diets contain more appropriate nutrient levels, and limit or exclude ingredients that are reported to have effects on a wide variety of research endpoints.
- Lower, more appropriate protein levels can improve survival and reduce morbidity
- Vegetarian with no nitrosamines (a potential carcinogen)
- Formulated to exclude alfalfa meal, greatly improving fluorescent imaging clarity
- Formulated to exclude or lower soybean meal, thus minimizing the presence of isoflavones, the primary type of phytoestrogen found in lab animal diets
- Extruded rodent diets dramatically reduce clumping and hardness after autoclaving (2018SX, 2019S, 2020SX), and in general result in less diet waste and cleaner cages
Teklad rodent diets provide uniform nutrition. They are fixed-formula diets designed to minimize the nutrient variances which otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of a diet were altered from one batch to the next.
Protein is supplied primarily by plant sources. Supplemental amino acids are added to provide the proper amount and balance of essential amino acids. All rodent diets are fortified with vitamins and minerals to help support the regulation of body fluids and the proper functioning of body systems to ensure the adequate growth, maintenance, and reproduction of research rodents. Autoclavable diets are supplemented with additional vitamins to compensate for losses that occur during autoclaving. Since our diets are nutritionally complete and balanced, it is not necessary to add dietary supplements.

- Cool and dry; at or below 70 degrees fahrenheit with humidity ideally below 50%, but up to 65% is acceptable
