DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-51674-z
Abstract: Aggression in group-housed laboratory mice is a serious animal welfare concern. Further understanding of the causes of mouse aggression could have a significant impact on a large number of laboratory animals. The NC3Rs led a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68477-2
Abstract: Drug treatment studies in laboratory mice typically employ manual administration methods such as injection or gavage, which can be time-consuming to perform over long periods and cause substantial stress in animals. These stress responses may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skae234.288
Abstract: The objective was to test the hypothesis that net energy (NE) of diets is not increased by reducing soybean meal (SBM) and increasing crystalline amino acids (CAA) in diets fed to group-housed pigs on an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-03918-y
Abstract: Deciding which environmental enrichment is used in mouse caging is often subjective, with cost frequently prevailing over welfare benefits, including aggression and anxiety. While many devices introduced to encourage natural behaviors and reduce aggression show… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22043
Abstract: Automated milk feeders (AMF) are an attractive option for producers interested in adopting practices that offer greater behavioral freedom for calves and can potentially improve labor management. These feeders give farmers the opportunity to have… read more here.

High-Throughput Automated Olfactory Phenotyping of Group-Housed Mice
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2019.00267
Abstract: Behavioral phenotyping of mice is often compromised by manual interventions of the experimenter and limited throughput. Here, we describe a fully automated behavior setup that allows for quantitative analysis of mouse olfaction with minimized experimenter… read more here.

Theanine, a Tea-Leaf-Specific Amino Acid, Alleviates Stress through Modulation of Npas4 Expression in Group-Housed Older Mice

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043983
Abstract: Group rearing is a common housing condition, but group-housed older mice show increased adrenal hypertrophy, a marker of stress. However, the ingestion of theanine, an amino acid unique to tea leaves, suppressed stress. We aimed… read more here.
