AI Technical Summary
The existing long-distance transport boxes are common styles. The single packing of pregnant mice and whole litter rats is relatively small. The bumping process caused by excessive space is unstable, which can easily cause stress responses in animals. In severe cases, it will directly lead to animal death.
A long-distance transportation box dedicated to pregnant mice and whole litter mice was designed. The box was divided into four spaces of different sizes using X-shaped plates, and a limiting mechanism, breathable holes, iron mesh and waterproof layer were set up to reduce animal stress response.
Through partition design, the stress response of pregnant mice and whole litter rats during transportation is reduced, customer complaint rate and animal waste are reduced, and the cost of animal production and use is effectively reduced.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transport boxes, in particular to a long-distance transport box specially used for pregnant mice and whole litters of mice. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of animal experiments, the types and strains of experimental animals are showing increasingly diversified and refined demands. Among them, mice and rats are needed for experiments throughout almost their entire growth and breeding cycle. The demand for pregnant mice and entire litters of mice has been increasing in recent years, and they are typical representatives of special animal orders.
[0003] Animals must go through the transportation process from the breeding room to the experimental end. The handling, bumps, temperature, humidity, and odor factors during the transportation process will cause stress reactions in animals. Pregnant mice and whole litters of mice are in the special stage of pregnancy and lactation, and the stress caused by environmental changes is more obvious. Premature birth, dystocia, refusal to feed, and cannibalism are the most common stress reactions, which can directly lead to animal death. Due to the preparation cycle and supply scale of pregnant mice and whole litters of mice, transportation stress causes considerable losses every year.
[0004] The current mainstream experimental animal transport boxes are universal styles that take into account the transportation tasks of various types of animals. There are two main types of transport boxes: plastic transport boxes suitable for air transportation and paper transport boxes suitable for road transportation. However, only targeted material design is made for the mode of transportation, and there is no obvious difference between the types of animals. The single packing volume of pregnant mice and whole litters of mice is relatively small, and the relatively large space leads to instability during the bumpy process. Utility Model Content
