Considerations when choosing a base diet
- Teklad Global Rodent Diets® like 2018 do not contain alfalfa and are thus ideal if your work requires an alfalfa-free diet for fluorescent imaging, If further imaging clarity is needed, we can make purified diets with doxycycline.
- Teklad global 2018 (base diet in examples above) contains a moderate amount of soybean meal, a source of phytoestrogens. The table below includes several options of minimal phytoestrogen diets with the most common doxycycline concentration of 625 mg/kg diet. For other concentrations contact us. For additional phytoestrogen information, see our list of phytoestrogen references.
Examples of minimal phytoestrogen global rodent diets with doxycycline hyclate1 at 625 mg/kg diet
1 Doxycycline hyclate is ~87% doxycycline
Advantages of diet delivery of doxycycline
- Typically the same doxycycline concentration can be used in diet as in water. Lower concentrations of doxycycline may be adequate with 625 mg/kg diet being the most common concentration.
- Diet offers protection from light. Water may have to be given in dark-colored or foil-wrapped bottles
- Diet is typically changed once per week. Water may need to be changed every few days
- Diet delivery may also reduce risk of dehydration and preclude the need to give with sucrose (Cawthorne et. al. 2007)
Key planning information
- Minimum order quantity is 3 kg, sufficient for feeding ~20 mice for one month
- Store diet refrigerated and plan to use within six months
- Typical lead time is two weeks (four weeks if irradiated)
- TD.01306 typically ships within 2 days non-irradiated or 2 weeks with irradiation
- Irradiation (20 – 50 kGy) is optional, and must be requested at time of order
Safe handling of doxycycline diets
- Doxycycline is a tetracycline class antibiotic.
- Usual dose for therapeutic effects in humans is 100-200 mg/day.
- Doxycycline diets for rodents typically contain ~2 mg/pellet.
- Accidental doxycycline exposure can be minimized by using typical lab precautions of lab coat, gloves, and mask when handling the diet.
- Your chemical safety department should be contacted for additional institution specific guidelines for handling and disposal of doxycycline containing diets.
