A method, system and apparatus for monitoring the excretory and locomotor behavior of laboratory rodents
By combining a transparent observation unit with a bottom filter paper support layer, the movement and excretion information of rodents can be acquired simultaneously using top and bottom camera acquisition units. This solves the problems of simultaneous acquisition and expansion of multiple observation units in existing technologies, and realizes efficient behavior monitoring and device-based applications.

Abstract
This invention relates to the field of laboratory animal behavior monitoring technology, and discloses a method, system, and apparatus for monitoring the excretion and movement behavior of laboratory rodents. The method involves laying a filter paper support layer at the bottom of a transparent observation unit and simultaneously acquiring images using camera units positioned above and below the top of the transparent observation unit. This obtains information on the movement behavior and excretion traces of the laboratory rodents, and performs temporal and / or spatial correlation analysis to obtain the monitoring results of excretion and movement behavior. This invention also discloses a system and apparatus for implementing this method, which can be extended to the simultaneous monitoring of multiple transparent observation units, and is suitable for the development and commercial application of experimental devices.
