W7 LAB ANIMAL

Primary enclosure: cage/pen/stall (microenvironment)
allow normal physiological & behavioral needs -urination, defecation
allow conspecific social interaction & develop hierarchies
animals remain clean & dry
allow access to food & water -permit easy filling, refilling, changing, service, clean utensils
secure environment
no sharp edges/projections
smooth, impervious surfaces with minimal ledges, angles, corners, overlapping surfaces
reduced dirt, debris, moisture accumulation
constructed of durable materials -resist corrosion, withstand rough handling w/o chipping, cracking, rusting (stainless steel, polypropylene/carbonate) -sanitation

Specialized housing: IVC, filter top cage, isolators, cubicles
minimize spread of airborne ds agents
require special care & husbandry -aseptic handling techniques, specialized cleaning, disinfecting or sterilization to reduce contamination
special materials for construction -poly sulfone

Space factors:
body weight
surface area
vertical height
structuring of the space
enrichments
social interaction
