EFFICIENT LAB ANIMAL MONITORING
ELAN
Conventional rodent housing restricts natural behaviors, raising concerns about both ethical animal care and the validity of experimental data.
In this project, we will develop a new, larger home cage in which rats can freely move about. We will also develop new sensor technology, so the animals can be monitored 24/7, giving valuable scientific data and better and cheaper welfare monitoring.
The role of Noldus
Noldus will develop a number of monitoring technologies for enhanced insights into the welfare and behavior of the animals living in the cages.
Partners
The project is led by Noldus. Radboud University Medical Centre, UNO Life Science Solutions, and Brain Builders are the other partners.
Funding
This project is funded by the European Fund For Regional Development and the province of Gelderland, as well as by the partners.
