Tablets & Precision Pellets

TABLETS — LabTreat™ Enrichment Tablets (“Precision Pellets”)

LabTreat™ Enrichment Tablets (or “Precision Pellets”) each have specific weight and dimensions that do not vary from pellet to pellet. They are a “precise dosage” food critical to studies in which accurate measurement of food consumption and/or behavioral response is essential.

LabTreat™ Enrichment Tablets from Purina TestDiet^® are available in a broad range of standard formulas—both grain-based and purified ingredient diets. Grain-based diets are based on Purina LabDiet^® formulas and are comparable to the composition of the animals’ usual maintenance food. Purified diet pellets offer all the benefits of regular purified ingredient diets—precise consistent ingredients and nutrition values. Both grain-based and purified diets are available as primary sources of nutrition or as reward and reinforcement treats with increased sugar and/or flavoring.

Some of the many uses and types of Tablets:

• Treats and Enrichment
• Rewards for positive reinforcement of behavior.
• Food Restriction, Portion-Controlled Feeding, and Food Intake Monitoring
• Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation
• Precise Dosing of Added Medications & Test Compounds
• Pellet Dispensers — Purina TestDiet^® Precision Tablets are dust-free and suited for use in all brands of pellet dispenser equipment.
