Figure 5.
Average days to cage change based on cage density for all experiments. The figure presents graphs depicting the average cage change interval and SD of cages by density from the individual studies performed. (A) Mixed strain study: presents the average days to cage change and SD of cages containing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mice. (B) C57BL/6J learning phase study: depicts the average days to cage change and SD based on manual scoring. (C) C57BL/6J validation phase study: depicts average days to cage change using BSI-based alerts for cages containing 2, 3, and 5 age- and sex-matched C57BL/6J mice. (D) BALB/c study: presents the average cage change interval and SD of 2, 3, and 5 age- and sex-matched mice. (E) Swiss Webster study: shows the average days to cage change and SD. *, P ≤ 0.05; †, P ≤ 0.01; ‡, P ≤ 0.001; §, P ≤ 0.0001; +, P ≤ 0.005; ×, P ≤ 0.0005.
