Evaluation of a Synthetic Bedding Substrate for Mice (Mus musculus).
This study compared a synthetic bedding substrate (SBS), which has the potential to be a particulate-free animal beddingsystem, with the standard woodchip bedding. The objective was to demonstrate that the SBS is habitable for mice and reducesparticulates to levels that would not contaminate the eye or potentially induce ocular (corneal) injury. Newly weaned micewere placed in either standard woodchip bedding or SBS. All mice were monitored regarding overall health (appearance,food and water intake, natural behavior, clinical signs, and provoked behavior) to verify their ability to adjust to the bedding. At 8 to 10 wk of age, the mice underwent slit-lamp evaluation for ocular (corneal) abnormalities. Results showed significant differences in body weight and overall health between bedding groups. The incidence of ocular abnormalities did not differ significantly between groups. We conclude that, without modifications and more testing, SBS is not a favorable bedding for mice, and results were inconclusive regarding its use as a bedding to preclude ocular contamination.
