Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an EVC cage, in particular to an SPF-level mouse closed colony animal model establishment special EVC cage, and belongs to the field of application of experimental animal model establishment special equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Experimental mice are widely used in the research of sleep, memory, biological rhythm and the like, and are natural hosts of hantavirus, forest encephalitis virus, pramal virus and other human-animal shared disease pathogens. Cultivation of an SPF-level mouse closed colony animal model can improve the utilization level and service capability of experimental animal resources from the source, and provide strong support for the development of the biological medicine industry.

[0003] According to the national standard, SPF-level mice should be bred in a barrier facility, and the technical indexes such as temperature, relative humidity, air exchange frequency, air cleanliness, bacterial colony number, pressure difference, noise and the like in the barrier facility and the breeding cage are required. At present, commonly used mouse breeding cages have two kinds, namely, an open flat shelf (with a room as an independent unit) and a closed cage (with an independent cage box as a breeding unit). Among them, the closed cage has a central exhaust ventilation cage system (Exhaust Ventilation central Cages, referred to as EVC) and an independent ventilation cage system (Individual Ventilated Cages, referred to as IVC).

[0004] The fan at the top end of the EVC host discharges the exhaust gas in the cage box from the exhaust port through the filter, connects the rack exhaust duct with the central exhaust ventilation system in the barrier environment to exhaust air, and sends clean air into each cage box after filtering from the air inlet of the breeding cage. And the breeding cage forms a micro-negative pressure, is independent of each other and has no cross contamination, and can be suitable for breeding SPF-level experimental animals. Compared with the static (open) cage, the EVC (i.e. exhaust ventilation) system inherits the advantages of the IVC, the cages are independent of each other, cross infection is prevented, and the harm of allergic substances and serious odor generated by experimental animals to experimental personnel is avoided. Therefore, the EVC cage has been widely concerned and used by major research institutions and biological medicine companies since it was put on the market.

[0005] The breeding of genetically engineered mice is a very important link in animal experiments, especially for multi-gene modified mice. However, during the breeding process of mice, the mother mice often eat the baby mice, which leads to the death of the genetically modified mice that are difficult to cultivate. In order to avoid this situation, the method of separating cages and feeding baby mice with milk can be used during the breeding process of mice. However, since the existing EVC cage is single, the pregnant mother mouse needs to be transferred to another cage during the separation of cages, so that the movement and noise generated during the separation of cages may cause the pregnant mother mouse to be frightened and increase the possibility of eating the baby after giving birth. In addition, if the baby mouse needs to be fed with milk, the milk-fed baby mouse needs to be in contact with the smell of the lactating mother mouse, such as contacting the bedding of the mother mouse before lactation. However, the bottom of the existing EVC cage is a sealed structure, so if the bedding with the smell of the lactating mother mouse is needed, the bedding can only be taken from the top of the cage. The movement and noise generated during the process of taking the bedding may also frighten the lactating mother mouse and increase the possibility of eating the baby after giving birth.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an EVC cage that can isolate pregnant mother mice in a quiet state and obtain bedding with the smell of lactating mother mice without affecting lactating mother mice. SUMMARY
