Studi Perilaku dan Perkembangan Berat Badan Mencit Balb/c pada Perkandangan Individu dan Koloni di PT Biomedical Technology Indonesia

Abstract

Pengamatan tingkah laku mencit yang di kandangkan secara individu dan koloni memiliki kepentingan yang signifikan, terutama dalam bidang biomedis dan ilmu perilaku. Pengamatan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh sistem perkandangan terhadap perkembangan berat badan dan tingkah laku mencit strain Balb/c. Pengamaan ini dilakukan pada tanggal 05 Oktober- 05 November 2024 di PT Biomedical Technology Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengamati 12 ekor mencit yang di kandangkan secara koloni dan individu. Pengambilan data meliputi pengamatan tingkah laku harian, mencatat sisa pakan dan minum, dan mencatat berat badan mencit dalam 2 kali seminggu. Data yang telah dikumpulkan dianalisa menggunakan Uji t-Test:Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada tingkah laku makan, mencari makan, dan minum menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda nyata (P>0,05). Hasil pada berat badan mencit menunjukkan hasil yang tidak berbeda nyata (P<0,05). Untuk hasil dari konsumsi pakan menunjukkan hasil yang tidak berbeda nyata dan konsumsi air minum menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda nyata (P> 0,05)

Observation of the behavior of mice that are caged individually and in colonies has significant importance, especially in the fields of biomedicine and behavioral science. This observation aims to examine the effect of the cage system on the development of weight and behavior of Balb/c strain mice. This observation was conducted on October 5-November 5, 2024 at PT Biomedical Technology Indonesia. This study observed 12 mice that were caged in colonies and individuals. Data collection included daily behavioral observations, recording remaining food and drink, and recording the weight of mice twice a week. The data that had been collected was analyzed using the t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances. The results of the study showed that the behavior of eating, foraging, and drinking showed significantly different results (P>0.05). The results on the weight of mice showed results that were not significantly different (P<0.05). For the results of feed consumption showed results that were not significantly different and drinking water consumption showed results that were significantly different (P> 0.05).
