ABSTRACT:
The invention is an animal containment device for the transportation, holding, feeding, watering, and caring for of animals. The device is designed to maintain adequate temperature, humidity, ventilation, and sanitary conditions. The device includes a ventilation device which can operate in negative, positive, or atmospheric pressure modes. The device also includes a multi-level waste and by-product removal device. The waste and by-product removal device consists of multiple slotted layers through which liquids and solids will pass. These liquids and solids will be collected on different layers upon which they can be dried and easily removed. This device eliminates odor and contamination within the device. The device allows for special handling, the ability to isolate/quarantine, and the ability to provide easy animal ingress/egress. The device allows for warm and dry nesting, provides healthy human working conditions, allows the animals to obtain adequate rest, allows the animals to receive sunlight, and is rodent and insect free.
