ABSTRACT:
An animal confining and housing device having a wheel supported carriage with a plurality of two sets of vertically spaced and parallel guide members thereon. A plurality of animal confining cages are movably mounted on one of the sets of guide members. The cages have a water supply system thereon for supplying water to the interior thereof. A flexible hose extends between the cages and the main water supply for facilitating (1) a relative movement between the cages and the carriage and (2) a supply of water from the main water supply to the water supply system on the cages. A releasable coupling is provided for permitting a disconnection between the flexible hose and the main water supply to facilitate a removal of the cage from the carriage for transport to a location remote from the carriage. Each of the cages has a plurality of compartments located therein, which compartments are located on opposite sides of a food trough. A passageway extends between the food trough and each of the compartments to facilitate the removal of food from the food trough by animals in the compartments. A tray is provided beneath the cages for catching the excretive material from the animals housed in the cages.
