Description
For sixteen years, the American Institute of Nutrition Rodent Diets, AIN-76 and AIN-76A, have been used extensively around the world. Because of numerous nutritional and technical problems encountered with the diet during this period, it was revised.
Two new formulations were derived:
- AIN-93 g for growth, pregnancy and lactation
- AIN-93M for adult maintenance
Some major differences in the new formulation of AIN-93 g compared with AIN-76A are as follows:
- 7 g Soybean oil/100 g diet was substituted for 5 g corn oil/100 g diet to increase the amount of linolenic acid
- Cornstarch was substituted for sucrose
- The amount of phosphorus was reduced to help eliminate the problem of kidney calcification in female rats
- L-cystine was substituted for DL-methionine as the amino acid supplement for casein, known to be deficient in the sulfur amino acids
- Manganese concentration was lowered to one fifth the amount in the old diet
- The amounts of Vitamin E, Vitamin K and Vitamin B12 were increased
- Molybdenum, silicon, fluoride, nickel, boron, lithium and vanadium were added to the mineral mix
For the AIN-93M maintenance diet:
- The amount of fat was lowered to 40 g/kg diet from 70 g/kg diet and the amount of casein to 140 g/kg from 200 g/kg in the AIN-93 g diet
Because of a better balance of essential nutrients, the AIN-93 diets may prove to be a better choice than AIN-93A for long-term as well as short-term studies with laboratory rodents. J. Nutr., v. 123: 1939-1951 (1993).
- AIN-93 g diet is available in pelleted form
- AIN-93 g diet is used for growth, pregnancy and lactational phases of rodents
