Harlan Teklad Laboratory Swine Diets are natural-ingredient diets specifically formulated to provide the proper balance of all known nutrients considered essential for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of swine.

Harlan Teklad Laboratory Swine Diets provide uniform nutrition through fixed-formula diets designed to minimize the nutrient variances which otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of the diets were altered from one batch to the next.

Protein supplied by fish, animal, and plant sources combined with supplemental amino acids provide the proper amount and balance of essential amino acids required by research swine.

Harlan Teklad Laboratory Swine Diets are fortified appropriately with vitamins and minerals to help support the regulation of body fluids and the proper functioning of the body system to ensure adequate growth, maintenance, and reproduction of research swine.

Harlan Teklad Laboratory Swine Diets are formulated and manufactured without artificial preservatives, anti-caking agents, or other additives which otherwise may influence the results of certain types of research studies.

Feeding directions---Weaning pigs should be allowed ad libitum access to diet. Adults should be fed at a rate of 2% - 3% of their body weight per day. Fresh, clean water should always be available.

Shelf Life---The recommended shelf life of Harlan Teklad Laboratory Swine Diets is six months from the date of manufacture. However, shelf life may be affected by storage conditions. Optimum shelf life can be achieved by storing the diets in a cool, dry, pest-free area away from hazardous materials.
