A trolley for dry breeding of experimental animals

Abstract

The invention discloses a cart for experimental-animal dry breeding. The cart comprises a cart frame, a collecting storing device and an isolating frame. The collecting storing device is arranged at the bottom of the cart frame, the top of the collecting storing device is opened, the bottom of the collecting storing device is closed, and the whole collecting storing device is in a big-end-up hopper shape; the bottom of the collecting storing device is a slant face, a water draining pipe communicated to the inside of the collecting storing device is arranged at the low end of the collecting storing device, and a valve is arranged on the water draining pipe; the isolating frame comprises a plurality of isolating bars, the multiple isolating bars are arranged at intervals, and included angles between all the isolating bars and frames are acute angles. By means of the collecting storing device, metabolism discs can be supported, metabolite can be collected at the bottom of the collecting storing device and discharged from the water draining pipe at low position on the bottom face, and the water draining pipe can be opened and closed through the valve so that discharging of the metabolite can be controlled; the metabolism discs can be divided and aslant put through the isolating bars, one person can operate the cart, the metabolism discs do not need to be taken out of the cart frame during washing, cleaning and disinfecting are convenient, and the cleaning step is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of experimental appliances, in particular to a cart for dry breeding of experimental animals. Background technique [0002] At present, the experimental animal centers of most scientific research institutes at home and abroad gradually tend to use non-human primate experimental animals for related scientific research experiments. During the feeding process, wet feeding is likely to cause peculiar smell in the entire feeding room, corrode facilities and equipment, and spread pathogenic organisms, etc., which will have a negative impact on the animals themselves, scientific research experiments, breeding personnel and experimental results. For dry feeding, you only need to take out the metabolic plate of the feeding cage, and then treat it, which greatly reduces the various negative effects mentioned above. However, there are currently no special equipment and tools for the collection of animal metabolites and the clea...

Problems solved by technology

However, there are currently no special equipment and tools for the collection of animal metabolites and the cleaning and disinfection of metabolic discs, which often result in that the metabolic discs are taken out and dumped into a bucket prepared in advance, and then the metabolic discs are placed on a commonly used cart and pushed to After cleaning the machine, put it away for cleaning and disinfection. When this kind of ordinary cart is used, the processing steps are cumbersome and difficult to operate, and the labor and time costs are greatly increased, which reduces the work enthusiasm of the breeders and reduces the work efficiency.

Metabolites often overflow on the floor of the breeding room, seriously polluting the breeding room and threatening the health of animals and personnel

[0003] The main disadvantages of existing trolleys used for cleaning and disinfecting primate experimental animal metabolism plates and metabolites include: first, lack of technical standards and require temporary customization. This process requires the coordination of technical details between experimenters and processing personnel. The processing cycle is long, which affects the progress of the experiment, and the cost is also high; second, during the processing process, two people are required to operate at the same time, and when taking out the metabolism plate, it is necessary to maintain the balance of the metabolism plate at the same time, so as not to tilt so that the metabolites are sprayed on the On the ground, polluting the breeding room will increase the spread of pathogenic bacteria and increase the labor cost of cleaning; thirdly, when the breeders clean the metabolism plate every day, they need to prepare metabolite storage barrels and ordinary transport vehicles, and take out the metabolites first during operation. plate, then pour the metabolites into a bucket, place them on an ordinary transport cart, transport them to a washing machine, and finally place the metabolite plate in a position that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection. The steps are cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive
