实验动物行为与环境质量研究进展

Progress in Research of Laboratory Animal Behavior and Environment

实验动物行为是其针对某种刺激的反应或因与其所在的环境相互作用形成的生活方式,包括本能行为和学习行为.这里的环境指动物直接生活的场所,包括实验动物设施和饲养笼盒.本文主要综述环境条件对实验动物的生活和行为造成的影响,并结合实验动物相关标准,探索动物生存环境的适宜条件和合理水平,为提高动物福利提供依据.

Laboratory animal behavior colligates the wild and wonderful ways in which animals interact with each other living beings, and with the environment. These behavior is the product of an individual＇s innate qualities （＂nature＂） versus those shaped by personal experience （＂nurture＂）. Environment contains all the resources with which the animals come directly in contact. This article reviews the effects of environment factors on laboratory animal behavior. Based on the related standards, the paper explores the relationship between environment control and laboratory animal holding, which will benefit the animal welfare.
