We offer animal diets, specialty feed including monkey, rodent, rabbit and mice nutrition. PMI Nutrition International manufactures feeds with optimal nutritional content for your laboratory research animals. By using the best quality ingredients available, and applying rigid manufacturing specifications to every product, PMI Nutrition International produces superior quality diets. To ensure that your animals are getting proper nutrition, and that your laboratory results are as accurate as possible, the product should be stored according to recommendations and used within its shelf life. Although a number of factors influence the shelf life of a particular LabDiet product, the following information is provided as a guide to help you properly store your product and determine if a product has exceeded its shelf life. The National Institutes of Health and Good Laboratory Practices recommend using animal feeds within three months of manufacture. PMI Nutrition International agrees with this practice, but has found through research that PMI products should retain their nutritional quality for up to six months after manufacture. PMI Nutrition International does not warrant the quality of products beyond six months of age.

We offer specialty feed, lab diets, rabbit nutrition, and labdiet. 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. The protein, or amino acids, ingested by an animal provides the nitrogen required for the body's growth, tissue maintenance, reproduction and lactation. When a young animal gets too little protein, its growth will be limited and its energy intake will be thwarted. Protein-calorie malnutrition can result. Protein intake requirements vary with the kind of animal and performance expected of it. Adult animals have a lower protein requirement than young animals. Chemical compounds known as vitamins are necessary in small amounts for maintenance, growth, reproduction and lactation. As components of certain enzymes, vitamins are essential to maintaining life processes. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins. They can be stored in the liver or in other organs to provide the needs of the animal. A reasonable daily intake is recommended, however. Regular amounts of clean, pure water are an absolute must if life is to be sustained. Water makes up more than one-half of the total composition of the mature animal's body and is involved in almost every metabolic process. Blood, the medium by which nutrients are carried to various parts of the body, is approximately 80% water.
