| Abstract: | A new mouse feeder system was described which enables mice to be utilized for long-or short-term feeding studies of chemical toxicants. Quantitative toxicant consumption can be obtained. The use of granulated feed of particle size, 500-1000 mu, prevents bridging, thus assuring a constant supply of diet to the experimental animals. Comparative weight gain in female BALB/c Nctr BR mice showed no significant differences between the groups fed 500 ppm 2-fluorenylacetamide, control granulated feed, or pellets. |
