I. Introduction
Experimental animal nutrition refers to the basic requirements of various nutrients needed to maintain normal growth and reproduction of animals. The nutritional needs of experimental animals are the result of comprehensive research on the biological characteristics, especially the digestive and bolic characteristics, of various experimental animals. Testing of experimental animal feed, bedding, drinking water, and other items provides strong guarantees for the healthy growth of experimental animals.
II. Testing Basis
Relevant national and local standards for monitoring the nutrition of experimental animals
III. Specific Implementation Examples
The feed testing group of the testing center not only conducts regular testing on the feed, bedding, and drinking water of the experimental animals in this facility, but also provides testing services for other companies in the industry.

ICR miceIn 1926, the Rockfeller Institute of the United States introduced albino mouse from Switzerland to breed Swiss mouse; in 1948, it was introduced by the Philadelphia Cancer Institute and bred Ha/ICR. In 1973, it was introduced into China and in 2011, SPF (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. introduced it from the National Rodent Experimental Animal Seed Center and bred it.More
