Summary
This poster used group-housed rats to measure how injections, handling, and cage changes alter temperature and activity in the home cage. Repeated procedures produced measurable, procedure-specific responses, and cage changes temporarily shifted both activity and temperature, showing how continuous data can expose disturbances missed by occasional checks. A UID Matrix system read implanted UCT-2112 temperature microchips across twelve cage zones.
