Mouse cage with feed weighing function and suitable for establishing metabolic syndrome model

Abstract

The invention discloses a mouse cage with the feed weighing function and suitable for establishing a metabolic syndrome model, and belongs to the technical field of small animal feeding tools. The mouse cage comprises a mouse cage body, a cover and a feed box. The feed box is installed on an electronic balance through a supporting piece. The electronic balance is fixedly connected with the bottom of the mouse cage body. An inclined plane is arranged at the bottom of the feed box, and the low side of the inclined plane gets close to the mouse cage body. The feed box is fixed to the supporting piece through a fastener. The mouse cage with the feed weighing function and suitable for establishing the metabolic syndrome model is improved according to an existing mouse cage, the feed box is separated from the mouse cage and installed on the panel electronic balance, and thus the feed box and feed in the feed box can be weighed automatically. The mouse cage can be used for feeding experimental rats with the diabetes model, the food intake of the rats can be obtained conveniently, the reading only needs to be recorded at feed throwing and time monitoring points, and the food intake can be dynamically monitored in real time. The mouse cage can also be used for feeding rats like the diabetes model rats, the feeding labor amount is small, data errors are also small, feed waste cannot be caused easily, and thus the mouse cage is quite practicable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a small animal feeding tool, in particular to a rat cage with feed weighing suitable for establishing a metabolic syndrome model. Background technique [0002] During the feeding process of the experimental mice that establish the metabolic syndrome model, the experimental breeder needs to monitor the feeding situation of the mice all the time. Because the mice don't necessarily finish the feed, the feed and the remaining feed need to be weighed separately, and the amount of food eaten by the mice is calculated according to the difference. Putting in and taking out the feed for multiple weighings, and calculating the amount of feed based on the difference, requires high labor and large data errors, which is easy to cause waste of feed, and the operation is very troublesome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rat cage with feed weighing suitable for establishing a metabolic ...

Problems solved by technology

Put in and take out the feed and weigh it multiple times, and calculate the feed intake based on the difference. The workload is high, the data error is large, it is easy to cause waste of feed, and the operation is still very troublesome.
