Rats, mice and hamsters are frequently used in laboratory
research, with each species having characteristics that
make them appropriate for particular types of studies. Rats
are well suited for biological and psychological testing
and are economical study animals because of their light
food consumption. They are effective in evaluating the effects
of small amounts of experimental material. Inbred mice are
particularly helpful in learning more about abnormal reactions
and diseases such as muscular dystrophy. Hamsters are useful
in studying specific reactions, such as the growth of cancerous
tumors, and are also used in research on diabetes, radiation
and vascular physiology.
Standard LabDiet formulas include an exclusive Constant
Nutrition™ formulation that provides a constant level of
nutrients. PicoLab® Diets are irradiated before shipment
to create virtually bacteria-free diets.
