Animal metabolism experimental equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses animal metabolism experimental equipment, which comprises an experimental cage, a feeder, a drinking trough, an excrement separating mesh and a urine collection device. The excrement is separated by a double filter screen structure, and a waterproof layer is arranged on the double filter screen structure, so that the animal excrement is more accurately collected. In addition, the tightness of the whole equipment is improved, and oil liquid is filled in the urine collection device. Therefore, the equipment acquires the most accurate experimental data to the greatest degree, greatly shortens the process of collecting the animal excrement, avoids remained or lost excrement in the process, avoids external interference, can intelligently measure and analyze the experimental data in real time and does not need too much manual operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to experimental testing equipment, in particular to animal metabolism experimental equipment. Background technique [0002] The research and development of technology requires numerous experiments, and it is particularly important to obtain the most objective and scientific experimental data. In the process of conducting animal research experiments, there are studies and experiments on animal metabolism. [0003] Rodents, especially rats and mice, are often used in scientific research and teaching experiments, especially in medical bionics and medical drug testing. Generally, in the clinical and toxicity tests of various drugs, it is necessary to closely monitor the food intake, water intake and excrement of the test mice, and even separate the urine and feces from the excrement of the test mice, and accurately record the number of urination of the mice. The urine output, and then carry out laboratory tests to record various ind...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] First of all, its excrement collector uses a funnel to guide the excrement, which will undoubtedly increase the excrement collection journey, so that during this journey, the excrement may be reduced due to various reasons such as blocking, legacy, evaporation, etc.; secondly, its The excrement collector adopts a sphere separator, which will inevitably leave urine on the surface of the sphere, and the urine and feces of the animals will pass through here first, which may be mixed and sticky; also, because the bottom is semi-closed by the funnel , so it is necessary to open ventilation holes on the mouse cage, and the feeder and drinking fountain will also have openings on the side of the mouse cage, so that there is bound to be debris that has nothing to do with the experiment entering or other interference; in addition, the metabolism The urine cup of the cage is placed in the feces tray, which requires repeated manual operations, and data measurement cannot be implemented, and the urine evaporation has not been performed, so the obtained data will not be very accurate
