Device for preventing experimental male mice from fighting

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for preventing experimental male mice from fighting. The device comprises a simulated mouse, wherein the simulated mouse comprises a head, a trunk, four limbs and a tail; and the interior of the trunk is of a hollow structure, vent holes are formed in the trunk, a sounder is arranged in the trunk, and a switch is arranged on the sounder. When the switch of the sounder is triggered, the sound simulating female mice can be made. The main material of the device is high-strength composite silica gel. The invention provides a bite-resistant and sounding simulated mouse device, which can arouse the interest of experimental male mice and disperse the attention of the male mice, so that the fighting is reduced, the experimental male mice live in a safer and harmonious environment, on one hand, the basic survival welfare of the mice is guaranteed, and more importantly, the effectiveness and the credibility of the experiment result are guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of experimental zoology, and relates to a device for preventing male mice used in experiments from fighting. Background technique [0002] Male mice for experiments are derived from wild Mus musculus, which was first used for animal experiments in the 17th century and is the most widely used experimental animal. It can be used in basic experiments such as drug experiments and disease model construction. Aggression is the nature of mice, especially after male animals reach sexual maturity, the enhancement of territorial awareness leads to more serious fighting between animals. In addition, strain background; snatching resources such as social status, sphere of influence, spouse, food, etc.; pressure, stress or negative emotions caused by the breeding environment to mice can also cause mice to fight. The male mice used in the experiment would have their skin bitten on the back and their beards bitten off if ...

Problems solved by technology

Reducing the stocking density is equivalent to increasing the number of cages used. On the one hand, it takes up more space resources. On the other hand, this method can only reduce the number of experimental male mice participating in fighting, but cannot eliminate
