Time to Incorporate to Nest Test (TINT)

Term · Agriculture and food · MLC-T-AGR-006386

An applicable test detecting disturbed welfare by measuring the time interval mice need to integrate nesting material to an existing nest. The TINT yields a positive result when a mouse integrates the new nesting material into the main nest site within 10 min; failure to interact with the nesting material is defined as a negative TINT.
