Moreover, in the in-rack ventilation system 1200, the ventilation target is an internal area of a plurality of the breeding cages 1 housed in the breeding rack 1100 (part of the breeding rack 1100). The amount of processing air for can be kept low.
- the air supply device 1210 supplies clean air into the breeding rack 1100 so that the inside of the breeding rack 1100 that accommodates the plurality of breeding cages 1 is maintained at a positive pressure, it is arranged in the breeding rack 1100. Clean air is forcibly supplied from the gap Gp between the cage body 10 and the cage lid member 100 to each breeding cage 1. For this reason, ventilation efficiency in each breeding cage can be increased without using a complicated piping structure in which an air supply pipe is connected to each breeding cage 1, and at the same time, breeding with dirty air in the breeding cage is performed. Contamination in the rack and breeding room can be avoided more reliably.
- the volume to be air-cleaned is a limited area of the breeding room 1030 that is a breeding environment (inner areas of the plurality of breeding cages 1 in the breeding rack 1100). Since the volume is limited, the processing air volume for air purification in the breeding rack 1100 and the breeding room 1030 can be greatly reduced, and the indoor air conditioner 1020 installed in the breeding facility 1001 can be downsized.
- the ventilation efficiency in the individual rearing cage 1 is improved without complicating the piping structure, and the inside of the rearing rack due to dirty air or the like in the rearing cage 1 is increased. It is possible to more reliably prevent the spread of contamination in the breeding room.
- the present invention is useful in the field of cage lid members and breeding cages and breeding systems using the cage lid member, which can obtain a disposable cage lid member in which a filter mounting portion is hardly damaged.
