Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, and in particular relates to a mouse feeding structure capable of accurately controlling food supply. Background Art

[0002] In medical experiments, mice are usually used to test the efficacy of various drugs under development. In order to ensure the reliability of the efficacy test, mice need to be carefully raised in the early stage to ensure their healthy growth. At present, the feeding devices used in the experiment are relatively simple. Basically, mice are placed in a simple cage and fed with food through a plastic bottle. In the process of feeding food, the quantitative feeding of food is entirely based on artificial sensory judgment, which has certain disadvantages. Especially after the mice consume the drugs under development, this process requires precise control of the type of food fed and the amount of food consumed. However, the existing feeding devices cannot achieve quantitative feeding of different types of food according to the state of the mice after consuming the drugs under development.
