We offer animal diets, specialty feed including monkey, rat, laboratory and mouse 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. The date of manufacture is printed on every bag of LabDiet feeds so that you can be sure your product is being used within its shelf life. Use the manufacture date to manage your feed inventory, too. Always feed the oldest product in your inventory first to avoid wasting feed.

Welcome to the LabDiet Product Reference Manual. This manual is published especially for members of the Laboratory Community, like you, who need to be able to reference critical information in a concise and convenient way. Each LabDiet is manufactured exclusively at our ISO 9002 Certified, drug and synthetic estrogen-free plant in Richmond, Indiana. The process techniques we use at the plant are closely controlled to ensure your lab animals get the constant nutrition your research requires. Monkey Diet and its companion product, Monkey Diet Jumbo, are constant-nutrient, complete life-cycle diets for all Old World Primates. The product is available as an extruded biscuit containing stabilized vitamin C and vitamin D3. Both diets are identical in formulation. Monkey Diet Jumbo features a larger size biscuit. Refer to the Shelf Life Section on this site for product longevity information and storage suggestions. Laboratory Canine Diet is a Constant Nutrition formula supplying complete canine life-cycle nutrition for reproduction, lactation, growth and maintenance. This palatable high-protein, high-energy diet, made with a constant formula, is recommended for minimizing nutritional variables in long-term studies. Refer to the Shelf Life Section on this site for product longevity information and storage suggestions. Many pharmaceutical companies use cats in their laboratories to develop drugs for the treatment and prevention of feline diseases. Cats are also used extensively in basic research. Because their brain has been thoroughly mapped, cats are widely used as models in neurophysiologic research. In addition, the cat's eye is extremely well-defined and well-developed, making it a perfect model for basic visual research as well. Most researchers prefer to use purpose bred cats because many confounding variables are controlled. Purpose bred cats are obtained from suppliers who breed cats specifically to supply research laboratories. Cats from these sources have known genetic histories, sometimes as far back as 20 generations. They have accurate and complete vaccination records and are accustomed to living in laboratory conditions, making them less stressed by a research laboratory environment than random source cats.
