    An automated information system streamlines inbred rodent breeding colony record-keeping. This system enhances data accuracy and accessibility for animal technicians managing breeding programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Laboratory animal science
    • Bioinformatics
    • Animal husbandry

    Background:

    • Effective record-keeping is crucial for managing inbred rodent breeding colonies.
    • Manual record-keeping can be labor-intensive and prone to errors.
    • The need for efficient data management in research animal facilities is growing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement an automated information system for inbred rodent breeding colonies.
    • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of data collection and management.
    • To provide timely and comprehensive reports for colony management.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of keyboard terminals in breeding rooms for direct data entry.
    • Utilizing a local mini-computer for data collection, editing, and short-term storage.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Leveraging a remote large computer center for permanent data storage and report generation.

    • Main Results:

    • The system facilitated recording of births, weanings, animal assignments, dispositions, and health observations.
    • Daily reports were available within 24 hours, providing immediate feedback.
    • Weekly compilations and on-demand special reports (e.g., pedigrees) were generated.

    Conclusions:

    • The automated system significantly improved the management of inbred rodent breeding colonies.
    • It enhanced data accessibility and reduced the time required for record-keeping.
    • The system provides a valuable tool for maintaining accurate breeding colony data and generating essential reports.
