Color preferences of laboratory mice for bedding materials: evaluation using radiotelemetry.
Preferences for different housing conditions in mice were evaluated by radiotelemetry. Male C57BL/6J and ICR mice were used. Preference for bedding materials in mice was compared among three materials, wood shavings (WS), paper (CF) and cloth (AG), using the length of stay in cages as a parameter. The results indicated that mice stayed longer in a cage with AG than in cages with other bedding m...
متن کاملEvaluation of bedding and nesting materials for laboratory mice by preference tests.
Bedding and nesting materials can improve the health and environmental welfare of laboratory mice. This study was carried out to examine which items are actually preferred by mice. Two series of studies were performed on four types of floor-covering materials (Wood-shavings (Clean-chip), Cloth (Agrebe), Recycled-paper (Paper-clean), Paper (Care-feeaz), and on four types of nesting materials (Re...
متن کاملPreferences for nesting material as environmental enrichment for laboratory mice.
Behavioural and psychological needs of laboratory animals generally cannot adequately be met in standard laboratory cages. Environmental enrichment, which provides a more structured environment can enhance the well-being of laboratory animals. They may perform more of their species-specific behaviour and may control their environment in a better way. An easily applicable form of enrichment for ...
متن کاملA Review of Mycoplasma in Laboratory Mice
Mycoplasma are small, cell-free bacteria enclosed by a membrane. These bacteria belong to the class of Mollicutes, the order of Mycoplasma tales, and the genus of Mycoplasma. There are more than 100 identified species of mycoplasma. The ratio of cytosine to guanine in its DNA is 23–40% and its genome size is 1350–600 kb. Mycoplasma require cholesterol to grow, and the temperature su...
متن کاملSpontaneously induced rhythm of tidal periodicity in laboratory-reared Carcinus.
There is growing opinion that circadian rhythms have an inherent natural period approximating to that of environmental variables which, in field conditions, maintain exact period and appropriate phase (Pittendrigh, 1958, i960; Cloudsley-Thompson, 1961; Harker, 1964). Evidence supporting this view comes from the results of several workers (Harker, 1953; Pittendrigh, 1954; Aschoff & Meyer-Lohmann...
