AI Technical Summary
In traditional rat feeding cages, the feed is placed outside the cage, forcing the rats to climb up or raise their heads to compete for food, which cannot guarantee sufficient food intake and cannot prevent environmental pollution.
The design incorporates a feeding structure and a cleaning structure. The feeding structure uses auger blades to directly feed the feed into the cage, while the cleaning structure collects feces and food scraps through filter holes, ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed within the cage and that the environment is clean.
This approach achieves efficient feed delivery and utilization, prevents environmental pollution, ensures uniform feeding for each rat, and improves the accuracy and convenience of the experiment.
