Provided herein are animal containment cage bases and covers that can be nested to disengage and/or collapse one or more cage components or one or more cage component mount members from a cage base or cage cover. Also provided herein are methods of removing cage components or cage component mount members from cage bases and cage covers by nesting. Also provided herein, is a detachable animal containment cage component grommet and methods of use thereof.

Nestable animal containment cage bases and covers and nesting processes

Provided herein are animal waste collecting animal containment cages for collecting and separating feces and urine from an animal or animals. Also provided herein are animal waste collecting animal containment cages that are disposable and are for single use. Also provided herein are animal waste collecting animal containment cages that are disposed within a rack. Also provided herein are methods of using and manufacturing an animal waste collecting animal containment cage.

Metabolic caging

Provided are animal containment systems and components, including single-use animal containment cages and modular rack units. Also provided are methods for assembling and using components of the animal containment systems.

Cage cover with filter, shield and nozzle receptacle

Methods, apparatuses and systems for convenient management of animals within a rodent containment cage system that includes labeling components, receiving data, associating the data, reporting the data and/or associations and locating components within the cage system. The management of the system may be self-contained, networked through a controller, local server and/or main server.

Rodent containment cage monitoring apparatus and methods

Provided herein are slidable 'drawer' animal containment systems that allow for ready access to contained animals. In certain embodiments, the animal containment systems include disposable cages, and the systems are ventilated in some embodiments.

Animal husbandry drawer caging

A rack system having shelves configured to support a plurality of disposable animal cages may include a modular configuration that is adapted to easily provide a desired rack size during manufacturing. A rack system may also include shelves which are configured to receive disposable cages and which have spring biased rails configured to receive edges of the disposable cages and provide a spring bias pushing apertures of a cage against nozzles of the shelf to provide a seal therebetween. A rack system may also include shelves which are configured to receive disposable cages and which have resilient flexible lids configured to deflect for releasable engagement into the rack assembly and establish a seal between the nozzle and receptacle for a controllable flow of air therethrough. A rack system may also include a monitoring system that includes at least one sensor in communication with a exhaust manifold of a cage that provides information to a controller that communicates cage conditions to a user via a graphic user interface. The controller may also provide information to a user independent of sensor data.
