Poster: Evaluating a novel in-home cage monitoring system for tracking welfare during birth-giving events and post-surgery recovery

Introduction

How do you ensure optimal animal welfare check-ups?

Lundbeck is collaborating with TrackPaw Scientific to develop and evaluate a novel in-home cage system that utilizes machine learning, RFID tracking and sensor technology to map individual animal health. The combination creates a first-in-class system that can characterize individual activity and weight changes in group housed animals. In this joint effort, Lundbeck leveraged two instances where rigorous manual monitoring is required today and evaluated whether the TrackPaw system holds potential to monitor the animals in a more hands-free way with animal welfare in centrum.

The poster was presented during the annual danish 3R symposium in Copenhagen in November of 2024.
