Ask a Nutritionist – Teklad custom research diets
Custom diets are transforming medical research. Our formulas are freshly made in small batches and can be fed to any laboratory animal.
These diets are entirely customizable, from purified diets made up of highly-refined ingredients to diets with natural ingredients such as grains. We can even add compounds to standard animal diets.
Watch our video to understand three key reasons to use a custom diet in your research study:
- Manipulate nutrient levels
- Induce disease (e.g., obesity, NASH, chronic kidney disease, multiple sclerosis)
- As a dosing technique (to add a compound such as a pharmaceutical, botanical, or novel test compound)
