Our staff of scientists work daily with
researchers from around the world to
develop unique diet formulations for individual
studies. We have assembled the best minds in the field of lab animal nutrition. On occasion they have shared their knowledge in the form of an article for publication.

Measuring Food and Water Intake in Rats and Mice
Animal Lab News - October 2008
Edward A. Ulman, Ph.D., Douglas Compton, Jarek Kochanek
Eating and drinking are episodic, and organized into meals with
bouts of specific start times, durations, and amounts. All systems,
signals, and switches (physiologic, metabolic, neurologic,
anatomic, endocrine, behavioral, etc.) must influence eating
and drinking bout by bout. So too, food and water intake should be
observed and recorded bout by bout.
Laboratory Animals- A Critical Part of In Vivo Research
Animal Lab News Europe - May/June 2008

Most all of us are aware that certain dietary choices can increase or decrease the likelihood
of developing certain diseases. Our diets can also change our metabolism as well
the levels of circulating factors (hormones, lipids, etc.) which may be markers for disease
risk. What is often overlooked is the fact that these concepts also apply to
laboratory animals, making diet a critical part of study design.
