Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cage cards for animal experiments, and in particular to an electronic cage card for experimental animal rearing cages. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of laboratory animal science, animal cages are crucial equipment for ensuring the survival of laboratory animals and maintaining stable experimental conditions, forming the foundation for the smooth conduct of various research projects. Cage cards, as an important carrier of information about laboratory animals, are used throughout the entire process from animal introduction to the end of the experiment. They record not only basic information about the animal, such as species, strain, sex, and age, but also key data from the rearing process, such as feed intake, water consumption, and health status. Accurate and comprehensive cage card information is of paramount importance for the management of laboratory animals, the monitoring of the experimental process, and the analysis of experimental results.

[0003] Currently, the cage tags used in laboratory animal housing are mostly traditional paper tags or simple plastic labels. Paper tags are fragile and easily damaged by moisture, wear, and tear, resulting in lost or illegible information. Their limited storage space makes them unable to meet the ever-increasing demands for information recording, and updates are difficult and lack real-time responsiveness, failing to accurately reflect the latest status of the laboratory animals. While plastic tags are slightly more durable, their information capacity is limited, and they cannot be electronically managed or analyzed. Manually reviewing and organizing information is inefficient and prone to errors. Utility Model Content
