Did You Know!

As any dentist will attest, a smile is a valuable thing.  This maxim also holds true in the primate world, which is why  MAZURI® has spent so much time and effort concentrating on ways to build dental hygiene into our new MAZURI® Primate Diets.  How?  Instead of sucrose, fructose is used to add sweetness where possible.  Fructose does not ferment in the mouth in the same way as sucrose and it does not produce acid that could chip enamel.  Biscuits in the new MAZURI® Primate Diet are hard--like dog biscuits--to clean teeth.  And, we've added a new compound--DentaGuard™--which has proven its ability to reduce calculi by as much as 64% in trials in Indiana University Dental School.  The result?  A substantial improvement in the oral health of all primates--even as they age.  DentaGuard™ is in all MAZURI® Primate Diets to insure primates receive an adequate amount even when diets are mixed and matched.  Research on DentaGuard™ is available on this site.  Brush up on your knowledge and see how we're leading the way with improved primate dental hygiene.
