    Design of Environment For Mice

    Uploaded by

    Haja Sherief
    The document discusses the design of an improved housing environment for mice with environmental enrichment. It proposes modifications to cages that increase natural behaviors and decrease abnormal behaviors by maximizing utilization of the environment. The effects of modifications will be evaluated by measuring physiological indicators like body weight and food/water consumption as well as behavioral measures. A variety of enriched cage designs are presented to improve animal welfare and the biological functioning of mice in captivity.

    DESIGN OF ENVIRONMENT FOR MICE

    GROUP 5

    HOUSING ENVIRONMENT WITH ENRICHMENT

    MODIFICATIONS FOR CAGE

    ACCESSORIES

    IMPROVING CAGE DESIGN : EINVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT


    Changes must be in both in enhanced animal welfare and improved biological functioning of the animals. any change to the housing system should - increase the frequency and diversity of positive natural behaviours, - decrease the occurrence of abnormal behaviour, - maximize the utilization of the environment & - increase the animals ability to cope with the challenges of captivity

    PARAMETERS FOR EVALUATING EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS


    MEASURES : Physiological & Behavioural PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES : 1.) Body Weight 2.) Food & Water Consumption 3.)

    VARIETY OF BEAUTIFUL CAGE DESIGNS
