Mouse metabolism cage cover plate and mouse metabolism cage

Abstract

The invention discloses a mouse metabolism cage cover plate and a mouse metabolism cage, the mouse metabolism cage cover plate comprises a circular cover plate body and a partition plate mounted on the cover plate body, the cover plate body is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the partition plate, and the top of the partition plate is provided with a mounting plate matched with the mounting groove; a notch is formed in the joint of the mounting plate and the partition plate; the mouse metabolism cage comprises a metabolite collecting box, a cage body and a cover plate, wherein the cage body is detachably mounted at the top of the metabolite collecting box and used for breeding mice, and the cover plate is detachably mounted at the top of the cage body; the additionally arranged partition plates can provide more activity ranges and independent spaces for the mice, and the fighting frequency of the animals in the experiment process is reduced; meanwhile, the partition plate creates a feeding environment more conforming to animal habits, increases the animal environment, more conforms to animal welfare, and is simple in structure and convenient to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mouse metabolic cages, in particular to a mouse metabolic cage cover plate and a mouse metabolic cage. Background technique [0002] At present, the metabolic cages on the market are all designed to be shared by rats (only some differences in size), and do not take into account the more aggressive habits of mice, especially when different breeding cages are transferred together, such as biting each other, it is easy to cause trauma. Animal welfare, and if there is an accidental death that will affect the experimental data, each cage has only one water bottle and trough, and the animal activity space must be separated under the premise of ensuring the animal's life. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the metabolic cages currently on the market are all designed for rats and mice (there are only some differences in size), and the habits of mice such...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the metabolic cages currently on the market are all designed for rats and mice (there are only some differences in size), and the habits of mice such as being more aggressive are not considered, especially when different breeding cages are transferred together, such as Biting each other is easy to cause trauma and does not conform to animal welfare. The present invention provides a mouse metabolic cage cover. The present invention also provides a mouse metabolic cage. The additional partitions can give mice more range of activities and independent space , reduce the frequency of animal fighting during the experiment; at the same time, the partition creates a feeding environment that is more in line with the habits of animals, increases the richness of the animal environment, and is more in line with animal welfare. It is simple in structure and easy to use, and is used to solve the defects caused by the existing technology
