what precautions to be followed while feeding black 6 mice with high fat. what is the susceptible infections mice are prone to and what is basic care to be taken during high fat feeding?
feeding mice with high fat diet is more o less the same as normal diet. I never encountered any infection in my animals due to high fat feeding. possibly they eat less at the beginning but there aren't any special care to be taken apart from monitoring food intake or weight.
Consumption of high dietary fat in mice is associated with altered blood lipid profile
with significant weight gain - a potential risk factors for metabolic and cardiovascular
problems. However, consumption and recommendation of dietary fat in individuals should
be rationalized to achieve positive impact on glycemic and lipid profiles.
The infection control can be minimize through hand hygiene before administering the food.
