【Model Animal】-How do experimental mice prevent diseases

  Since experimental animals must remain healthy and disease-free before the experiment, they actively carry out disease prevention work and lose their significance as experimental animals when they are sick. The following points should be noted in the breeding process.

  (1) Eliminate the entire box of suspicious mice, check for diseases, and take countermeasures.

  (2) In order to maintain the health of animals, a closed infectious disease prevention system should be established to reduce the possibility of rodent population infections. In other words, please pay attention to the following points: ① The newly introduced animals need to be isolated in an isolation room. If no disease is observed, they can be raised with the original group of rats.

  ② When the breeder enters and leaves the bleeding area, bathes, changes clothes, washes hands, and performs necessary local disinfection according to the requirements of each bleeding area, he must comply with the bleeding management regulations. 

  ③ Non-breeders are strictly prohibited from entering the breeding area.

  ④Prevent wild animals (wild animals, cockroaches) from entering the breeding area.
