Semi-Pure Growth Diet AIN-93G
This diet is based on a formulation developed by the American Society of Nutritional Sciences: ASNS (formerly American Institute of Nutrition). The Diet AIN-93G was a modification of a prior formulation AIN-76A. This well studied diet was updated to separate maintenance from growing animals and improve the long term health of rodents fed semi-pure diets.
- The formulation for AIN-93G and AIN-93M was first presented in Journal of Nutrition., 123[11]:1939-51, November 1993,
- AIN93G is the growth form of this standard pure or semi-pure diet formulation.
- We have made some modifications of the formulation to suit locally available raw materials. Our experience in short and long term feeding trials confirms that these modifications have little or no impact on animal performance.
- Cystine in the original formulation has been replaced by methionine. Although casein has a low cystine content, there is good evidence of interconversion of methionine and cystine.
- Soybean oil has been replaced by Canola oil. While this changes the fatty acid profile of the diet all known requirements have been met. The biggest difference between soybean and canola oils is in the linoleic and linolenic acid content. Although canola oil has a lower linoleic acid content (a known essential fatty acid) it could be argued that the n6 / n3 fatty acid ratio of canola oil is superior to soybean oil. The erucic acid content of canola oils available in Western Australia is extremely low.
- Some minor modifications have been made in the salt form of the trace minerals.
- If your intention is to irradiate this diet at 25 KGy we recommend that you consider SF09-091

SF01-017 Low Iron, Semi-Pure Rodent Diet
A semi-pure diet formulation for laboratory rats and mice based on AIN-93G.
- Iron content has been decreased to <10 mg Fe / Kg diet by exclusion of any added Fe to the
trace mineral premix. - In addition higher purity minerals have been used to minimise trace level contamination of
iron in this raw material. - The careful selection of raw materials has allowed us to reduce dietary in this diet from what
was previously achieved. Recent analysis of this diet (in powder form) has shown that the
average Fe level in this diet is 2.5mg/Kg - The generally recognised minimum iron requirement in rats and mice is 35 mg Fe / Kg diet for
maintenance and growth and 75 mg Fe / kg diet during pregnancy and lactation. Diets
showing clear symptoms of iron deficiency are generally in the range of 2 – 10 mg Fe / Kg
diet. - Whilst this diet has an iron concentration less than known requirements, it was not designed
as a diet leading to rapid symptoms of iron deficiency. - The pelletised diet has an increased iron content than the powder form. Typically in the
range of 15 – 20 mg Fe / Kg. - A suitable control diet is AIN93G or AIN93M
- This diet is the base diet for a number of controlled Fe diets, including SF07-082 with 2% Carbonyl Iron
Keywords: low iron, no iron, low Fe,
SF01-027 Low Zinc Semi Pure Rodent Diet
A semi-pure diet formulation for laboratory rats and mice based on AIN-93G.
- Zinc content has been reduced by excluding any additions in the trace mineral premix.
- A considerable quantity of zinc is present as trace level contaminants in the casein, starch and cellulose. The calculated zinc concentration of this diet is around 20 mg / Kg. Analyses confirm this concentration.
- At this concentration it would exceed the generally recognized maintenance and growth requirements for most strains of mice and rats. However zinc requirements during lactation and pregnancy are thought to be around 30 mg / Kg.
- It should be possible to further reduce dietary zinc concentration by careful selection of casein, starch and cellulose sources or finding alternative protein and carbohydrates.

Medicated Laboratory Animal Diets
Medications can be incorporated into almost any diet. Examples of common medications include:
- Addition of Fenbendazole to rodent diet for the control of pin worm.
- Addition of coccidiostats to rabbit, poultry or ruminant diets.
In our large scale plant the only medication we use is Fenbendazole. Following manufacture of fenbendazole diets we have a rigorous cleaning procedure aiming to eliminate residual medication.
Our small scale plant is specifically designed so that it can be taken apart and cleaned thoroughly between batches of feed, this reduces the risk of cross contamination. In this plant we can incorporate almost any drug into diets, with some restrictions to ensure the safety of our staff.
In Australia a veterinary prescription is required for the incorporation of medications into feeds.
