特克拉德全球猫粮(2060)是专门用来提供所有已知营养的适当平衡，被认为对研究猫的生长、维持和繁殖是必不可少的。
该饮食提供统一的营养，是一种固定的配方饮食设计，以尽量减少营养差异，否则可能会发生，如果饮食的成分组成从一批改变到下一批。与其他猫粮不同，它不含肉类替代品、人工调味品、过量谷物、化学色素或填充物。
猫有不寻常的营养需求。它们不能有效地将色氨酸转化为烟酸，不能将β胡萝卜素转化为维生素A，也不能去饱和亚油酸。它们需要高水平的蛋白质，而氨基酸牛磺酸是防止眼部损害和扩张性心肌病。特克拉德全球猫粮是为了满足这些特殊需要而设计的。此外，它的配方是低镁和低灰分，高肉类蛋白质，以产生酸性尿液，这降低了猫尿综合征的风险。
喂食方向
特克勒德全球猫饮食是一个完整的饮食为猫和小猫。[医]锂在任何时候都应提供获得饮食的机会。猫通常一天只吃一小部分食物，而且他们有一种正常的倾向，即只吃少量的水。每种动物都应该有淡水。

特克拉德全球雪貂饲料(2072)专为提供对研究雪貂的生长、维持和繁殖所必需的所有已知营养物的适当平衡而制定的。
雪貂实验室饮食提供统一的营养，是一种固定的配方饮食设计，以尽量减少营养变化，否则可能会发生如果饲料的成分组成从一批改变到下一批。
雪貂是一种特殊的食肉动物，肠道很短。人们认为，像猫一样，雪貂不能去饱和亚油酸。由于这些原因，一般建议雪貂日粮中含有大量的动物蛋白质和脂肪。在饮食中添加氨基酸牛磺酸是预防眼部损害和扩张型心肌病的一种安全措施。特克拉德全球雪貂饮食旨在满足这些特殊需要，包括大量的家禽副产品膳食和家禽脂肪。此外，它的配方是低镁和低灰分，这减少了泌尿疾病的风险。不像低质量的雪貂饲料，它不包含肉类替代品，人工调味品，谷物，化学色素，或填料。

反刍动物饮食(7060)是专门为各种实验室反刍动物提供所有已知营养的适当平衡。该饮食提供统一的营养，是一种固定配方的饮食设计，以尽量减少营养差异，否则可能会发生如果饮食成分组成改变从一批到下一批。
反刍动物需要大量纤维以保持瘤胃健康。绵羊需要铜，但对铜的毒性也很敏感。反刍动物日粮中含有丰富的纤维，支持微生物发酵，维持瘤胃功能。该日粮铜含量低，容易超过大多数反刍动物对铜的要求，同时避免了铜对绵羊的毒性。
喂食方向
特克拉德反刍动物的饮食是一个完整的饮食，为各种实验室反刍动物品种，一般应该每天以2%至3%的体重，取决于期望的增长率。淡水应该总是提供给每种动物，特别是在温暖的夏天。

没有一个确定的点，人们能够预测什么时候一个特定的饮食会变质或变得缺乏一个或多个营养。九个月保质期的共同准则是以北美长期的实践为基础的。在欧洲和亚洲，当地做法和监管监督方面的差异导致特克拉德标准天然成分饮食被例行使用到9个月，有时甚至在生产后12个月。这种实践经验，随着时间的推移，再加上文献支持和维生素测试，让我们相信，这些饮食继续支持动物的健康和研究的完整性，至少在9个月后生产。如果你不确定当地的政策，请向你的机构寻求指导。
建议的储存条件：
- 凉爽和干燥；在华氏70度或以下，湿度低于50%的理想值，但高达65%是可以接受的。
- 清洁无害虫
- 在原始包装中或容器中，防止连续暴露于光线下，并将空气暴露在最小范围内。
Envigo also manufactures and stocks diets for less commonly used laboratory animals including cats, ferrets, and for ruminants such as sheep, goats and cows.
Teklad global cat diet (2060) is specifically formulated to provide the proper balance of all known nutrients considered essential for growth, maintenance, and reproduction of research cats.
The diet provides uniform nutrition and is a fixed-formula diet designed to minimize the nutrient variances that otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of a diet were altered from one batch to the next. Unlike other cat foods, it does not contain meat substitutes, artificial flavorings, excessive grains, chemical colorings, or fillers.
Cats have unusual nutritional requirements. They cannot convert tryptophan to niacin effectively, cannot convert beta carotene to vitamin A, and cannot desaturate linoleic acid. They require an elevated level of protein, and the amino acid taurine is needed to prevent ocular lesions and dilated cardiomyopathy. Teklad global cat diet is designed to meet these special needs. In addition, it is formulated to be low in magnesium and ash, and high in meat protein to produce an acidic urine, which reduces the risk of feline urinary syndrome.
Feeding directions
Teklad global cat diet is a complete diet for cats and kittens. Ad libitum access to diet should be provided at all times. Cats normally consume small portions of food throughout the day, and they have a normal propensity to consume minimal amounts of water. Fresh water always should be available to each animal.

Teklad global ferret diet (2072) is specifically formulated to provide the proper balance of all known nutrients considered essential for growth, maintenance, and reproduction of research ferrets.
The ferret laboratory diet provides uniform nutrition and is a Fixed Formula diet designed to minimize the nutrient variances that otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of a diet were altered from one batch to the next.
Ferrets are obligate carnivores with a very short intestinal tract. It is assumed that like cats, ferrets cannot desaturate linoleic acid. For these reasons it is generally recommended that ferret diets contain high amounts of animal protein and fat. The amino acid taurine is supplemented in the diet as a safety measure against developing ocular lesions and dilated cardiomyopathy. Teklad global ferret diet is designed to meet these special needs by including a large amount of poultry by-product meal and poultry fat. In addition, it is formulated to be low in magnesium and ash, which reduces the risk of urinary disease. Unlike lower quality ferret diets, it does not contain meat substitutes, artificial flavorings, grains, chemical colorings, or fillers.
Feeding directions
Teklad global ferret diet is a complete diet for jills, and kitts. Provide ad libitum access to diet in a self-feeder. Ferrets normally consume small portions of food throughout the day, and they have a normal propensity to consume minimal amounts of water. It is crucial that fresh and clean food and water be kept easily accessible to ferrets at all times.

Teklad ruminant diet (7060) is specifically formulated to provide the proper balance of all known nutrients to a variety of laboratory ruminant species. The diet provides uniform nutrition and is a fixed-formula diet designed to minimize the nutrient variances which otherwise could occur if the ingredient composition of a diet were altered from one batch to the next.
Ruminants require significant fiber to maintain proper rumen health. Sheep have a requirement for copper but are also very susceptible to copper toxicity. Teklad ruminant diet is high in fiber to support microbial fermentation and maintain proper rumen function. The diet has a low copper content easily exceeding the copper requirements of most ruminants while avoiding copper toxicity in sheep.
Feeding directions
Teklad ruminant diet is a complete diet for a variety of laboratory ruminant species and should generally be fed daily at two-to-three percent of body weight depending on the desired rate of gain. Fresh water always should be available to each animal particularly during warm summer days.

There is no definitive point where one is able to predict when a specific diet will spoil or become deficient in one or more nutrients. The common guideline of a nine month shelf life is based on longstanding practice in North America. In Europe and Asia, differences in local practices and regulatory oversight have led to Teklad standard natural ingredient diets being routinely used out to nine months and sometimes 12 months post-manufacture. This practical experience, along with literature support and vitamin testing over time, gives us confidence that these diets continue to support animal health and study integrity out to at least nine months post-manufacture. Please refer to your institution for guidance if you are unsure of local policies.
