Description

METHOD FOR THE DISPENSATION OF A FEEDSTUFF, AND A FEEDSTUFF.
The present invention concerns a procedure for dispensing small animal feed to an animal, and a small animal feed used in said procedure.
In the present context, small animals are particularly understood to be rodents, rabbits and equivalent, comparatively small-sized animals which are kept in a confined space, e.g. in a cage, as pets or as experimental animals.
Particularly in feeding experimental animals the practice has been to use e.g. commercial feeds which come in granular form and contain albumin, car¬ bohydrate, fat and/or mineral/vitamin components. Ex- amples of animal feeds are presented in references DE 3 604 308 and DE 2 521 217. Furthermore, in connection with rearing and managing experimental animals, feeding the animals is a specific work step, which is carried out as one of the steps in conjunction with other de- tail tasks of the care. As a rule, small animal feed is placed in a separate container, made of metal wire or equivalent, in the upper part of the cage, from which the animals ingest feed in accordance with need. Such dispensing in a small container is fairly cumbersome and time-consuming.
In the interest of the animals' hygiene and better thriving, litter material is spread on the base of the rearing space, e.g. the cage, to constitute bedding material. This litter material is frequently changed. Litter material is in the present context understood to be any kind of usable material which is able to bind moisture. As examples of litter materials may be mentioned lignocellulose-based fibrous material, such as wood substance, dry parts of grass plants, and paper. Examples of litter materials known in the state of art have been presented in references FI 87 719 and US 5 044 324. The object of the present invention is to dis¬ close a novel dispensing procedure thanks to which the animal is positively activated and by which the basic care operations can be simplified and speeded up. The object of the invention is, furthermore, to disclose a novel kind of feed meant for small animals. As regards the features characterizing the invention, reference is made to the claims.
In studies associated with the invention, an unexpected observation was made when litters and feed were intentionally mixed together. In the first place, such mixing together has been found to have a remarka¬ bly significant effect on the animals' thriving and on their activity. Administration of feed to the animals admixed with the litter material caused the animals to become activated and to start gathering and separating feed particles from among the litter material, leaving soiled feed particles untouched. The animals have thus begun to gather and arrange their food themselves. This activity has been found to lessen the stress which quite commonly occurs in animals locked up in a cage, e.g. owing to inactivity.
Heretofore, feed may have ended up among the litter material e.g. as a result of inadvertent over- turning of the feed container. Such admixture has com¬ monly ben considered undesirable, and therefore the feed container has usually been fixedly mounted in the upper part of the cage, in order to avoid admixture.
Now, in connection with the present invention, is the first time that a dispensing procedure meant for small animals is presented in which small animal feed is deliberately admixed to the base material, that is to the litter material. The feed and the litter materi¬ al may be separately dispensed onto the base, such as the cage bottom, in which case the feed is dispensed prior to spreading litter material or, to particular advantage, after spreading the litter material, upon this material and so as to become admixed thereto. The feed may thus be dispensed e.g. in connection with litter changing, or later in an independent operation. Alternatively, the feed may first be mixed with the litter material and the mix thus obtained, dispensed on the base. It is possible, of course, to add feed mate¬ rial, as needed, into the ready-made feed/litter mix on the base.
Small animal feed may be dispensed in quan- tities commonly used or, when feed material is used for litter, in quantities exceeding usual practice. Advan¬ tageously, small animal feed is dispensed about 5 to 60% of the aggregate volume of feed and litter materi¬ al. If desired, the quantity of litter material used may be smaller than in present ptactice. When dispensed as taught by the invention, the feed may serve both as nutrition and as base litter.
The procedure of the invention can be imple¬ mented using any kind of coarse-granular small animal feed. To particular advantage the procedure is imple¬ mented using small animal feed consisting of particles in the external shape of which the dispensing according to the invention, among the litter material, has been taken into account. Therefore, the invention furthermore intro¬ duces a small animal feed which is in coarse-granular form and contains, possibly, albumin, carbohydrate, fat and/or mineral/vitamin components. As taught by the invention, the feed contains at least one colouring agent to colour the feed to have a colour substantially consistent with that of the litter material, and the feed is intended to be given to the animals, admixed to litter material.
In the context of this invention, a colouring agent is understood, in a broad sense, to mean any substance imparting colour, which may be a colouring substance or dye commonly used in connection with feedstuffs or foodstuffs which is appropriate for eliciting a colour corresponding to that of the litter material, or another substance, e.g. one possessing nutritive value, which is not commonly used as a col- ouring agent proper but which can impose the desired colour on the feed.
According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the feed contains, as colouring agent, whey, milk powder and/or raw material derived by pro- cessing from these, about 10 to 100%. Since these colour-imparting substances possess nutritive value in themselves, the feed may, if desired, consist exclu¬ sively of one or several such substances. The colour produced by these substances may vary from white to deep yellow, depending on the substance used and on the quantities used.
The feed litter used in conjunction with feed according to the invention is advantageously composed of wood substance, which may be in the form e.g. of chips, choppings and/or (saw)dust. In that case the feed of the invention will advantageously contain whey, milk powder and/or raw material derived from these by processing.
Feed according to the invention is not dis- tinguished among the litter material by its colour, whereby the base material has a coherent appearance and the general impression of the animals' premises is congenial. The animals distinguish the feed by smell. In an advantageous embodiment, the external shape of the feed particles is consistent with that of the litter material particles, in which case e.g. when the above-mentioned wood particles, such as chips, are being used, the particles of the feed of the invention containing whey or another equivalent product, are moreover substantially shaped like the litter parti¬ cles, such as chip-like granules for instance.
The feed of the invention may in addition to colouring agent(s) contain other components known in the context of small animal feeds, these being selected in accordance with the animal species to be fed, ac¬ cording to common practice, and in quantities conform- ing to the animal's requirements. If the colouring substance constitutes part of the nutrient components, as is the case with whey and with milk powder, the nutritive value of the substance may be taken into account in selecting other raw material components. Among the other remarkable advantages afforded by the invention there may be mentioned that feed dis¬ pensing carried out in connection with other care oper¬ ations will be simplified; feed as well as litter mate¬ rial are spread e.g. on the bottom of the animal's cage in a layer of appropriate thickness. After a suitable time, e.g. after 1 to 3 days, the feed/litter material layer is removed from the cage bottom and replaced with a new layer of the mix. It is a further advantage that no special storage containers are needed for feed. Consequently, the design of the animals* rearing spac¬ es, such as a cage, may also be simplified.
When feed according to the invention and litter material are used mixed together, as a ready-to- use mix which is dispensed to the animals as it is, the feed and the litter material may, if desired, be pack¬ aged in one single package. In that case no separate storage facilities are needed for litter and for feed.
Above all, the animals' conditions of living will improve because the animals are provided with a sensible occupation.
On the other hand, the litter material pres¬ ently employed and feed are substantially equally priced, and therefore the use of feed according to the invention does not involve higher cost than feeds known in the art, even if part of the feed should get lost. Since owing to the arrangement taught by the invention litter need not be used in quantities such as are pres- ently applied, part of the litter being replaceable with feed if desired, the consumption of litter can even be reduced. In big experimental animal laborato¬ ries, the diminished need of using litter is an econom- ic advantage, and it reduces the quantities of waste and therefore, the costs incurred in waste disposal.
The invention is described in the following, with the aid of embodiment examples .
Example 1: Whey-based feed
A feed mix meant for rodents is prepared in which whey, low-lactose whey and milk powder are used for colouring agent.
Constituents % by weight
Low lactose whey powder 35
Whey powder 10
Milk powder 20 Raw material derived from cereal 25
Vegetable albumin 6
Oils, fats 2
Minerals/vitamins 2
The ingredients are mixed and the mixture thus obtained is pressed under high pressure, resulting in a granular mix. Granulation may be performed in a manner producing flattened or chip-like granules and/or roundish gran¬ ules. The particle size of the mix may vary within 0 to 10 mm. The feed mix is suitable for use e.g. together with litter material consisting of light-coloured wood- particles .
Example 2: Feed coloured with a proper colouring agent A feed mix meant for rodents is prepared in which for colouring agent is used a substance commonly employed to colour feed, in a quantity matching the colour of the litter material used.
Constituents % by weight
Raw material derived from cereal 60
Vegetable albumin 25
Fish meal 10
Oils, fats 3
Minerals/vitamins 2 Colouring agent
The ingredients are mixed and the mixture thus obtained is pressed under high pressure, resulting in a granular mix. Tests performed with animals have shown that the mode of dispensing feed according to the invention activates the animals and improves their thriving.
The hygienic aspect of the mode of dispensing was also studied by taking samples from the feed/litter material substrates on the cage bottoms, for microbio¬ logical assays. On the strength of the study, the feed/litter material can be kept a few days as bedding for the animals without incurring any health risk. The animals' own, surprisingly active tidying contributes to keeping the food clean.
The requirements imposed on the litter mate¬ rial, e.g. in material containing wood chips, regarding cleanliness are similar to those which apply to the feed. Therefore admixture of feed to such material has not been found to cause any health risk whatsoever to the animals.
The following may be presented as examples of the dispensing method of the invention. In a cage in¬ habited by one mouse or rat a feed mix dose can be placed which comprises, as base litter, wood chips or small pieces of wood comprising finely divided wood substance: 9 decilitres, and feed pellets proper, 4 decilitres. The total quantity will thus be 13 dl.
In the foregoing the invention has been de¬ scribed by reference to advantageous embodiment exam¬ ples thereof, but it is obvious that the invention can be modified in many different ways within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims following below.
