Vitamin Supplement Tablets for Non-Human Primates
Vitamin Supplement Tablets for Non-Human Primates are designed to supplement a regular dietary program. Vitamin Supplement Tablets for Non-Human Primates meet the normal daily vitamin needs of most non-human primates. They provide supplementary vitamins, eliminating the need to feed fresh fruits and vegetables for nutritional supplementation. These tablets are a highly-palatable balanced blend of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. The tablets are chewable, orange-flavored, and easy for the primates to hold and consume. Each has a uniform size and precision weight.
