Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of indoor laboratory mouse breeding, and in particular to a rotating cage rack with independent ventilation cages for laboratory mice. Background Art

[0002] Mice are the most common experimental animals and are indispensable in medicine, vaccine production, biological drug production, surgical practice drills, drug and food quality inspection and safety evaluation, and life science research.

[0003] In laboratories, mouse cages are usually used for breeding and experimental observation of experimental mice. When conducting different experiments, experimental mice with different breeding conditions need to be raised in different mouse cages according to the experimental requirements. This leads to the use of multiple mouse cages in the laboratory. When placing multiple mouse cages, the bottom space is limited. Therefore, there are usually two ways to place the mouse cages. One is to place multiple mouse cages together by stacking them in layers, and the other is to hang the mouse cages in the air.

[0004] However, in actual use, it is found that the above two cage placement methods have the following problems:

[0005] 1. In the first method, when there are many layers of cages, due to the different heights of different experimenters, when the cages on the upper layer need to be replaced, fed, watered or ventilated, the cages on the upper layer need to be taken down before the operation, and it is difficult for shorter experimenters to take and put the cages on the upper layer. The second method also has the above problem when the cages are suspended in the air;

[0006] 2. In order to ensure that the placement and removal of each cage are not affected, in the first placement method, the number of cages stacked should not be too many, and it is necessary to ensure that there is space between two adjacent layers of cages. The second placement method requires reasonable hanging without affecting the experiment of the experimenter. This results in a high waste of space in both methods, which limits the scale of raising experimental mice.

[0007] In summary, the existing mouse cage placement method is inconvenient to use and easily leads to a limited scale of laboratory mouse breeding. Utility Model Content
