This 352 square-foot laboratory kitchen is responsible for the preparation of all experimental diets for nonhuman primates. There is an adjacent temperature-controlled storeroom for diet ingredients (660 sq. ft.) and a large room (1,188 sq. ft.) with about 25 freezers for storage of prepared diets. 

This laboratory has been providing specialized diets for our animal studies for over 40 years and currently prepares approximately 46 different diets for ongoing investigations. Diets are prepared based on very specific formulations, color coded, and stored in study-specific freezers. Furthermore, samples for chemical analysis are taken from every diet lot.
