Experimental rat breeding device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an experimental rat breeding device and method, and belongs to the technical field of experimental tools. The experimental rat breeding device comprises a cage body and a filter screen. The filter screen is arranged in the cage body. A cage door is formed in the upper side of the cage body. An adsorption plate is arranged at the lower end of the cage body. A cage cover is arranged at the upper end of the cage body. A water drinking bottle and a feed bin are arranged on the cage cover. A through hole is formed in the side face of the lower end of the cage body. A protruding strip is arranged on the inner side wall of the cage body. The filter screen is arranged on the protruding strip. A collecting tank is arranged on the lower side of the filter screen. A dischargepipe is arranged at the lower end of the collecting tank. One end of the discharge pipe penetrates through the through hole and is provided with a collector. A water injection hole is formed in the wall, between the protruding strip and the collecting tank, of the cage body. A water injection pipe is arranged in the water injection hole. A timed control valve is arranged on the water injection pipe. The experimental rat breeding device is convenient to operate, high in practicability and convenient to use and popularize and solves the problems that by means of an existing cage body, rats are fed with a feed manually, errors can be caused by manual operation, and therefore the experimental rats irregularly eat the feed and the health of the rats is affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to a feeding device and a feeding method for experimental mice. Background technique [0002] According to experimental research data, because the whole genome of mice is very similar to that of humans, human diseases are generally simulated on experimental mice. Therefore, experimental cages are usually used to feed experimental mice with conventional solid food. Existing experiments use The cage body needs to be paved with bedding material at the bottom of the cage, which can provide a dry and comfortable environment for the mice. The mice can move directly on the bedding material, and the excretion of the rats is also carried out directly on the bedding material, so the bedding material needs to be replaced regularly. Clean the cage. When the existing cage body is replacing the litter, it is necessary to transfer all the mice to another cage, and then clean the or...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a laboratory mouse feeding device and feeding method, which solves the time-consuming and laborious operations of regular cleaning of laboratory mouse cages and replacement of bedding materials, and the laboratory drinking water bottles commonly used by existing laboratory mice. The water outlet is easy to leak, and dripping on the litter will have a great impact on the living environment of the animals. The existing cages are fed manually, and there will be errors and other factors in the human operation, which will cause the experimental mice to eat irregularly. problems affecting their health
