Air transportation method of laboratory animals between plain and plateau

Abstract

The invention relates to an air transportation method of laboratory animals between plain and plateau. The method comprises the following steps: (1) purchasing and early feeding animals: purchasing laboratory animals from the plain, feeding the animals in a clean-level environment by using standard feed and sterilized drinking water for 3-7 days; (2) conducting quarantine inspection of animals; (3) delivering animals: feeding the laboratory animals in a breathable iron cage of which bottom part is provided with a tray, wherein the iron cage is provided with the complete feed and the drinking water; and then feeding laboratory animals in an aviation logistics company before the aviation transportation; (4) conducting aviation transportation on animals: before the fright departure, removing the drinking water, reserving the complete feed, packing all the laboratory animals in a regular wooden box, placing the regular wooden box in an aerobic cabin of the day scheduled flight, and transporting the regular wooden box to the destination; and (5) receiving animals: after the flight arrival, immediately opening the box to transfer the laboratory animals to a cage with padding materials; offering the complete feed and the drinking water, and then transporting to a lab. The air transportation method has the characteristics of fast speed, safety, economy and simple operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the research on the environmental ecology of experimental animals in the field of experimental zoology research, in particular to an air transport method for small experimental animals between plains and plateaus. Background technique [0002] In high-altitude medical research, mice, rats, and pikas are of moderate size and diverse behaviors, and are widely used in high-altitude physiology, pathology, pharmacodynamics, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics research. Carry out animal experiments in plateau areas, and the experimental animals in plateau areas have the characteristics of adapting to the plateau environment (experimental animals in plateau areas have adapted to the hypoxic environment due to natural selection, and are not suitable for hypoxic models, and the ability to adapt to hypoxia is hereditary) Many experiments need to transport animals from low-altitude areas, such as plateau animal experiments in low-altitude ...

Problems solved by technology

Carry out animal experiments in plateau areas, and the experimental animals in plateau areas have the characteristics of adapting to the plateau environment (experimental animals in plateau areas have adapted to the hypoxic environment due to natural selection, and are not suitable for hypoxic models, and the ability to adapt to hypoxia is hereditary) Many experiments need to transport animals from low-altitude areas, such as plateau animal experiments in low-altitude areas. Although the simulated plateau hypobaric oxygen chamber has the characteristics of plateau low pressure and low oxygen, there are still many differences from the actual plateau environment. The above two In both cases, there is a need to transport animals from plains to plateaus or from plateaus to plains. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a fast, safe, economical, and simple air transport method for experimental small animals between plains and plateaus.
