Feeding Instructions
It is recommended to feed the liquid diet in liquid diet feeding tubes as standard water sipper bottles can
become clogged with particulates. To fill the liquid diet feeding tubes, place thumb over the feed well and fill
with liquid diet from the top. Maintain thumb on the feed well while screwing cap on securely and invert tube
to release any trapped air bubbles. Place in feeding tube holder in cage.
The prepared diet should be maintained under refrigeration and should be dispensed within 3 days.
The prepared diet should not be kept longer than 48 hours at room temperature to prevent diet deterioration.
If diet has been prepared the previous day, invert bottle several times prior to dispensing to re-suspend
particles, which may have settled.
The average mouse will consume 20-30 mL of liquid diet per day. The average rat will consume 80-100 mL of liquid diet per day. Intake will vary with the size and sex of the animal.
A gradual introduction of the liquid diet is recommended. Introduce the liquid diet in the presence of the
standard solid diet. Over a period of 3-5 days, increase the amount of liquid diet while decreasing the amount
of solid diet to allow the animal to acclimate.
The liquid diet is both a food and water source. A separate water sipper bottle may be provided, but may not
be consumed.

喂養(yǎng)說明:
建議在流食飼管中喂食流食，因為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的吸水瓶可以被顆粒物堵塞。要填充液體飼料飼管，請將拇指放在飼料槽上并填充從頂部流質(zhì)飲食。將拇指放在進(jìn)料口上，同時擰緊蓋子并倒置管釋放任何被困的氣泡。放置在籠子里的飼管架上。
準(zhǔn)備好的飲食應(yīng)冷藏保存，并應(yīng)在 3 天內(nèi)分發(fā)。
準(zhǔn)備好的日糧在室溫下保存時間不應(yīng)超過 48 小時，以防止日糧變質(zhì)。
如果前一天已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好飲食，在分配前將瓶子倒置幾??次以重新懸浮可能已經(jīng)沉降的顆粒。普通小老鼠每天會消耗 20-30 毫升的流質(zhì)飲食。平均大老鼠會消耗 80-100 毫升每天流質(zhì)飲食。攝入量會因動物的大小和性別而異。
建議逐漸引入流質(zhì)飲食。在存在以下情況時引入流質(zhì)飲食
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的固體飲食。在3-5天的時間內(nèi)，增加流質(zhì)飲食的量，同時減少量
固體飲食，讓動物適應(yīng)。
流質(zhì)飲食既是食物又是水源?？赡軙峁┮粋€單獨的吸水瓶，但可能不會
被消耗。
