Effects Of Cohousing Mice And Rats On Stress Levels And The Attractiveness Of Dyadic Social Interaction in C57BL/6J and CD1 Mice As Well As Sprague Dawley Rats<strong> </strong>
2022-01-28
Abstract excerpt
Rats, including those of the Sprague Dawley strain, may kill mice. Because of this muridical behavior, it is standard practice in many research animal housing facilities to separate mice from rats (i.e., the predators) to minimize stress for the mice. We therefore tested the effect of cohousing on the stress levels of mice from either the C57BL/6J (BL6) or the CD1 strain and Sprague Dawley (SD rat) by determining...
