Abstract
Mice (Mus Musculus) are the most common research organisms used in biomedical research. We have
housed and maintained a variety of strains at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research since 2000.
Our environment and housing parameters provide a standardized guideline for our staff to follow.
This information assures the protection of our research using the rodent model, with proper use of
housing, nutrition, maintenance, and environmental enrichments for the healthiest rodent specimens
for our research. The provided guideline is currently being used at the Stowers Institute in 2023.
