CAGE FASTING PLAN WITH WEIGHING

Cage equipped with a mechanical food basket allowing the food planning and weighing of quantities eaten

This system allows the planning of food intake in rodents by scheduling on-off of the basket over a period of time chosen by the researcher.

The control software "FASTING PLAN" developed by IntelliBio to plan the ascent or descent of the food basket in which the pellets are placed. These functions of lifting, lowering and are weighing on all cages or independently for each stand or group cages. Programming can be done on a daily, weekly or monthly.

A weighing of the feeder is running on every ride, getting to know the weight of food taken by the rodent.
