Abstract
Different housing conditions had
been reported to affect the health and
welfare of animals. Under the poor
housing conditions not only cause stress,
but interfere the normal physiologic
process of animals. In order to evaluate
the popular constructive materials used
in Taiwan, the authors use the modified
preference test to compare five bedding
materials and three kinds of houses. The
results indicated that beddings consisting
of relative large particles were preferred
by the ICR mice. Animals tended to feed
and drink within the preferred cage.
Early living experience seemed to play
an important role on the animals’ choice.
Many animals were preferred the
'familiar' environment rather than the
'better' one. However, the preferences
among different houses were not
significant. Therefore, the preference
tests might only differentiate the shortterm
effects from the housing conditions.
In addition, because of the different
demands between laboratory animals
and human being, the authors assuming
that the animal model do not have
enough power to interpret the human
needs.
