Abstract

No single compound diet available in Great Britain is universally satisfactory for breeding mice of different strains in different laboratories. Moreover, formulæ developed in one country are not always useful in others because of tKe different availability of ingredients. It is therefore desirable to have a ready means of assessing a diet, to ensure that it is capable of supporting optimum growth and reproduction and of sustaining health in all strains and in all conditions likely to be encountered in the laboratory.
