北京地区实验树鼩的饲养管理方法

Breeding management method of long-term artificial cultivation of tree shrew in beijing area

树鼩作为低等灵长类动物,在生物学研究中的价值日益引起研究者重视,将其作为实验动物的实验需求越来越多。作为南方亚热带动物,树鼩如何适应北方地区的生活是北方地区将其用作实验动物的前提。本实验室探索出适宜树鼩居住的饲养笼具,确定了饲养环境温度、湿度、光照时间、噪声及通风等条件,制定了规范化的卫生管理标准,建立了北京地区长期人工培育树鼩的饲养管理方法,为今后利用树鼩进行中医药病证结合动物模型的研究奠定了基础。

Tree shrew, a species of lower primates, its value in biomedical research has draw attention of researchers, and have been more and more demanded as a laboratory animal. However, tree shrew as a southern subtropical animal, how to adapt it to live in northern China becomes the premise that tree shrew can be used as a laboratory animal in northern China. Our laboratory has explored feeding cage, which is suitable for tree shrew living, determined feeding environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, illumination time, noise, ventilation, etc. , formulated the health management standard and established breeding management method of long-term artificial cultivation of tree shrew in Beijing area. Therefore, we have laid the foundation for the application of tree shrew in research on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome combined with establishment of disease animal models in the future.
