Retaining device for experimental animal

Abstract

The invention discloses a retaining device for an experimental animal. The device comprises a first cavity, a sliding door mechanism and a retaining mechanism, wherein the first cavity defines a firstopening and a second opening which are oppositely formed in a first direction, and the first opening is set to face a rearing cage of the experimental animal and to be in butt joint with a cavity ofthe rearing cage; the sliding door mechanism is arranged at the position of the first opening of the first cavity, and the sliding door mechanism is arranged to be a communication channel capable of opening or closing the first cavity and the rearing cage; and the retaining mechanism is arranged at the second opening position of the first cavity and is provided with a surface type assembly perpendicular to the first direction, and the surface type assembly is arranged to be capable of moving in the first direction. The retaining device is better in retaining effect when used for retaining, transferring and dosing monkeys, animals can be protected against injuries, and the stress reaction of the animals is reduced, so that the reliability of experiment results is guaranteed, and the safetyof operators is protected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of animal experiment equipment, and in particular relates to a restraint device for experimental animals. Background technique [0002] At present, when carrying out drug administration experiments to experimental monkeys, monkeys are generally pulled out from breeding cages using monkey rods, and then they are secured on a securing chair. The experimental monkey can be restrained on the restraining chair, which can be transferred or administered. However, there are the following disadvantages in restraining the experimental monkey in this way: 1. During the process of catching the experimental monkey with the monkey pole, The experimental monkey will be in a state of tension, so it will try to resist being caught; 2. The operator will inevitably pull the monkey hard when catching the monkey with the monkey rod, which will easily cause the monkey to be injured, or the body position is not adjusted when pulli...

Problems solved by technology

The experimental monkey can be restrained on the restraining chair, which can be transferred or administered. However, there are the following disadvantages in restraining the experimental monkey in this way: 1. During the process of catching the experimental monkey with the monkey pole, The experimental monkey will be in a state of tension, so it will try to resist being caught; 2. The operator will inevitably pull the monkey hard when catching the monkey with the monkey rod, which will easily cause the monkey to be injured, or the body position is not adjusted when pulling the collar Well, it will lead to excessive compression of the trachea by the collar, resulting in difficulty in breathing, and even death of the animal; 3. The experimental monkey is restrained on the restraining chair, but the head and neck cannot be moved at will, and the limbs can still move freely, so it is inevitable that the operator will be scratched; 4. Some experimental monkeys will unlock the screws of the safety chair. Once the screws are unscrewed, the experimental monkeys will escape and even bite the operator
