Provide us with a copy of any existing formula to be duplicated or modified, and any journal article(s) upon which your research may be based.Almost all of our diets can be gamma-irradiated for use in barrier facilities. Irradiated diets are “double-bagged” inside our standard double-walled corrugated carton. Some of our stock diets are available irradiated from stock. Other diets are irradiated per order at an additional cost depending on quantity. See more information on gamma irradiation.
