Abstract
An animal caging system for remote monitoring includes a frame, a carousel-style rack configured to support at least one animal cage, and a monitoring system attached to the frame for capturing data from the animal cage. The monitoring system includes a support leg, a mounting arm for mounting the monitoring system to the frame, and at least one sensor for monitoring or observing the interior of the cage. The monitoring system may also include a motor for rotating the carousel-style rack, to allow multiple cages to be monitored by a single sensor or set of sensors, in sequence, as the carousel-style rack rotates.
