It’s What’s Inside That Counts
Allentown is proud to spotlight the unique, RFID-enabled, home cage monitoring system offered by Unified Information Devices (UID), a leading provider of RFID identification and data collection solutions.
Closing the Loop. Targeting the Cage.
The safe and effective cleaning of cages, bottles, enrichment items, and other research-related accessories is essential in maintaining the health and welfare of research animals. And there are several elements to this process that must work in tandem to ensure that these accessories are cleaned to the highest levels.
The Value of Enrichment
Enrichment generally includes the addition of objects, material or structure within the housing environment. These materials promote the expression of activities and behaviors that are typical and natural for that species and meet the behavioral, physical and physiologic needs of the animals being housed.
Standing Tall for Rodent Welfare
The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) states that “Animals require sufficient space to rest and exercise, access food and water, and freely express normal postures and behaviours.”
