The Animal Welfare Regulations, which define legal requirements for the care and use of gerbils in research and testing, and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals describe feeding practices for several species of rodents but not Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). To investigate whether the method of feed presentation affected reproduction and growth of gerbils, we compared the reproductive performance and rate of growth of gerbils fed on the cage floor, by hopper (J-feeder), or by wire-bar cage lid. Reproductive parameters of 10 breeding pairs for each method of feeding were followed for 63 d and did not differ between methods. To investigate the effect of feeding method on weight gain in juvenile gerbils, groups of 80 male and 80 female weanling gerbils per feeding method were fed for 5 consecutive weeks after weaning and weighed weekly. Gerbils fed on the cage floor and by means of J-feeders were significantly heavier than were those fed by using a wire-bar top. Our findings indicate that feeding gerbils by using J-feeders or on the cage floor are both acceptable practices.

Method of feed presentation affects the growth of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus).

Die Animal Welfare Verordnungen, die gesetzliche Anforderungen f&uuml;r die Pflege und Nutzung der Rennm&auml;use in Forschung und Tests zu definieren, und die Anleitung f&uuml;r die Pflege und Verwendung von Labortieren beschreiben F&uuml;tterungspraktiken f&uuml;r mehrere Arten von Nagetieren aber nicht mongolische Rennm&auml;use (Meriones Unguiculatus). Um zu untersuchen, ob die Methode der Futtermittel Pr&auml;sentation betroffen Fortpflanzung und Wachstum der Rennm&auml;use, wir die Fortpflanzungsf&auml;higkeit und Wachstumsrate der verglichen gef&uuml;ttert Rennm&auml;use im K&auml;fig-Stock, Trichter (J-Zubringer) oder Draht-Bar K&auml;fig Deckel. Fortpflanzungsparameter 10 Brutpaare f&uuml;r jede Methode der F&uuml;tterung folgte f&uuml;r 63 d und Unterschied sich nicht zwischen Methoden. Um den Effekt der Gewichtszunahme bei juvenilen Rennm&auml;use Methode ern&auml;hren zu untersuchen, waren Gruppen von 80 m&auml;nnliche und 80 weibliche Weanling Rennm&auml;use pro Mahlzeit Methode gef&uuml;ttert f&uuml;r 5 aufeinander folgenden Wochen nach dem absetzen und w&ouml;chentlich gewogen. Rennm&auml;use im K&auml;fig-Stock und durch J-Anleger gef&uuml;ttert waren deutlich schwerer als diejenigen mit eine Draht-Bar-Top gef&uuml;ttert wurden. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die F&uuml;tterung Rennm&auml;use mit J-Anleger oder auf dem Boden K&auml;fig beide akzeptablen Praktiken sind.

Methode der Futtermittel Pr&auml;sentation beeinflusst das Wachstum der mongolische Rennm&auml;use (Meriones Unguiculatus).
