1) Improve applicability: easy to move, detachable, suitable for staged off-site laboratories;

2) Safety: Animals are easy to manage, experimenters are relatively safe, and easy to operate;

3) Improve the test accuracy: the urine receiving surface is made of non-slip and anti-seepage material, and the feces and urine separation device is designed according to the physiological characteristics of animals;

4) Shared metabolic cages for large and small individual animals: according to the size of the experimental animals, the side rails of the metabolic cage can be adjusted to expand the use range of a metabolic cage and avoid repeated construction of the laboratory;

5) Economy: low cost.
