Bright Colored
Food for Rodents
New Colors for Custom Diets
The safety and smooth running of a scientific research work is key to its success. When two closely related feeds are used in an experiment, it is useful and practical to dye one of them.
This practice is also interesting for evaluating consumption and any possible waste as it makes it easy to visually identify feed that has fallen into the litter.
Legally, dyes are classified as additives in animal and human nutrition. For precautionary reasons and in line with our policy of offering feed solutions with the greatest possible neutrality, SAFE® does not use dyes in standard feeds. The use of these additives is only possible in special feeds and only upon explicit customer request. The sensitivity of research models varies depending on strains, husbandry conditions and the trial itself.
There is no consensus on the possible organoleptic and sensory effects of such compounds. Therefore, it is not recommended to change the colors of the diets used during the experiment.
Antibacterial Effect
Hygienic and Sustainable Spruce
Bedding
The SAFE® spruce bedding range is made from 100 % natural raw material. Benefit from the unique antibacterial effect of spruce! The germ and mold reducing properties are perfectly suited for scientific animal bedding.
