As a core breeding facility, the design and functions of monkey cages in laboratory animal breeding equipment must take into account animal welfare, experimental needs, hygiene and safety, as well as management efficiency.
• Sufficient space and reasonable layout: Monkey cages usually adopt a layered/modular design. The space of a single cage complies with the "Technical Specifications for Feeding and Management of Laboratory Macaques", avoiding fights and stress caused by overcrowding of multiple monkeys, and ensuring their independence in activities and rest.
• Strong environmental controllability: The cage body is mostly of a ventilated and light-transmitting structure. Combined with top/side vents, it can adjust the temperature, humidity and air quality inside the cage, reduce the accumulation of ammonia and peculiar smells, simulate the natural habitat environment, and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases.
• Anti-escape and anti-injury design: The cage door adopts anti-pinch and anti-pry locks. The aperture of the cage net is precise (to prevent monkeys' limbs from being stuck or escaping). There are no sharp edges and corners in the cage to prevent animals from self-harm or accidental injury.
