Investigation of some water used in laboratory rodents husbandry

Original language description

Actually, standardization of feeding and drinking of laboratory animals play an important role in biomedical research. Therefore, the present study examined four types of water in male laboratory rats stock Wistar (n = 24). Namely, drinking, distilled, filtered and acidified water were tested. Also, dynamic of water consumption was followed. The experimental period took 21 days. Body weight gain and food intake were found at the beginning as well as at the end of the study. The water consumption was measured every 12 hours. There was found a significantly lower consumption of acidified water (20.3 ? 3.6 ml per day and animal), on the other hand, distilled water was the most preferable (26.2 ? 1.9 ml per day and animal) in the experimental rats (&#61537; &#61501; 0.01). The drinking evidently ran over the night activity of the experimental animals (&#61537; &#61501; 0.05). Furthermore, there was observed no significant dependence of the water intake on the body weight gain (r = 0.3019)
