FiberBites® FAQs

What is the best way to store FiberBites?

FiberBites® are best if stored between 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit (13-18 degrees Celsius).

What is the recommended dosage for FiberBites®?

FiberBites® provide an easy to administer, readily accepted source of fiber for nonhuman primates. Each bite contains approximately 1.6 grams of inulin from chicory root, a prebiotic fiber source that promotes a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

The general recommended daily dose of fiber in NHPs is 1.5 to 2 grams per kg per day. Assuming the primate weighs 8 kilos – it requires 12 to 16 grams of fiber per day. To convert grams of fiber needed to the proper number of FiberBites®, divide the daily fiber dose by 1.6 grams.

For example, 12 to 16 grams of fiber daily equals 7-10 FiberBites®; we would recommend starting with 3 pieces twice a day and increasing to 4 twice daily depending upon your results.

We have been using FiberBites for quite a while now, and our primates LOVE them!

We have used this product as a fiber source, to treat selected cases of diarrhea in macaques. They seem to be palatable, as the monkeys like them.

We provide FiberBites to our rhesus and cynomolgus macaques. A veterinarian prescribes them as a clinical treatment for diarrhea and in a few cases for constipation. They are not in our macaque enrichment program. Some animal will eat them as is, some only eat a specific flavor, and some have to have them camouflaged in something else (like a smear of peanut butter on them). Overall, we like the product and they are an easy treatment to give, especially for the animals that eat them directly.
