The article deals with the preparation for the experiment on long-term monitoring of the temperature of eggs and brooder-hens, the heart rate and the motor activity of the embryos and the motor activity and the behavior of brooder-hens during natural chicken brooding in laboratory conditions. The issues of laboratory premises selection and their internal layout are discussed. We suggest protecting the hardware from dust and excessive humidity by installing it in an isolated chamber in the immediate proximity to the cages with birds. The factors influencing the results of the experiments that involve living animals are analyzed. Some ready-made solutions are suggested to arrange the power supply of the laboratory. We also describe the appropriate components of the hardware set for the monitoring of the controlled parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
