Description

Cells for keeping small laboratory animals, consisting of a box with air vents, water supply devices and feeders, are known. Such cells are widely distributed in rabbit farms, in those occupied by breeding fur-bearing animals, as well as in institutions that have their own guinea pigs.

A distinctive feature of the cage described here for keeping laboratory animals soft is that the cage is made of a team from a box, a plug-in combined feeder of a removable lid, a cell-bottom, having a pyramidal shape with rounded corners and made of high-density plastics, which increases operational reliability and creates normal hygiene conditions for keeping and feeding laboratory animals. The device for water supply is made in the form of a plumbing tube that fits into the slot of the box and has a herodal cavity with an outlet for water, which protects animals from gastrointestinal diseases. The box has a plug-in partition and a sub-grating bottom, which makes it possible to isolate laboratory animals during individual experimental operations and improves the sanitary condition of the environment in which the animals are located.

FIG. I, 2 and 3 schematically depicts the described cell.

The cage for keeping small laboratory animals consists of a body, a lid, a partition, a feeder, a trough and a cuvette. The body / is a solid-molded pyramid-shaped box with rounded corners and with ventilation holes 2, which have in the lower part 3 projections on which a grid-shaped, retractable bottom 4 is installed. In the front of the box, there is a feeding trough 5, condition No. 148297, -2cha from a bunker divided into two compartments. The first compartment 6 is intended for feeding hay and one of its sides is facing the inside of the cage and is made with a grid; the second compartment 7 is intended for feeding concentrated feeds and has a protruding tray in the lower part.

Autodrink 8 is made as follows. A branch pipe 9 is discharged from the water pipe and has openings for drinking water. A groove // is inserted under the water pipe 10, which serves to drain excess water into the sewer. The water pipe is connected to the main drain through a tank with a ball valve.

Partitions 12 are inserted into the cell body to divide the cell into compartments. The housing is closed with a removable lid 13 and placed in a cuvette 14, which is filled with litter.

The cage and the feeding trough are made of plastic material, such as, for example, high-density polyethylene, fluoroplastic, etc.
