Physiological Profile of Growing Rats: Effects of Cage Type and Cage Density

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to examine the effects of cage type (CT) and cage density (CD) on physiological variables in growing rats. Sprague Dawley rats (n = 108) weighing an average of 46 g were housed in metallic cage with woodchip bedding (MCWB), metallic cage with wire mesh (MCWM), and plastic shoebox with woodchip bedding (PCWB) separately by sex at normal (160-cm 2 /rat, ND) and high (80-cm 2 /rat, HD) CD from 3 to 10 wks of age.
