2014 Teklad Global 14% Protein Rodent Maintenance Diet

Product Description—2014 Teklad Global 14% Protein Rodent
Maintenance Diet is designed and manufactured with high quality ingredients.
2014 is a fixed formula, nutritionally balanced, non-autoclavable diet containing
a minimum of 14% protein and 3.5% fat. Scientific publications report that low
fat, low protein diets promote longevity and normal body weight in rodents. 2014
does not contain alfalfa or soybean meal, thus minimizing the occurrence of
natural phytoestrogens. Absence of animal protein and fish meal eliminates the
presence of nitrosamines. For autoclavable diet please refer to 2014S Teklad
Global 14% Protein Rodent Maintenance Diet (Sterilizable). Diet 2014 is
available certified (2014C) and irradiated (2914).

Digestible Energy (DE) is the total (gross) amount of energy in the diet minus the
Threonine % 0.50 energy eliminated in the feces. It accounts for energy contained in the indigestible
Proline % 1.34 portion of the diet. Of the digestible energy, some is lost as a result of various metabolic

Leucine % 1.46 energy in the body is available to support metabolism and is known as the
Isoleucine % 0.61 Metabolizable Energy (ME). This value more accurately reflects the usable energy
contained in the diet.
