Animal weights
Introduction
It is common practice to weigh the animals in an experiment before every test. ANY-maze allows you to record these weights within the system, which has the benefit that you can then analyse them in the same way as any other measure - for example, to check whether there's a significant difference in weight between your treatment groups.
In fact, if you use the ANY-maze Animal scales to weigh the animals, ANY-maze will prompt you to weigh them before you test them and then automatically record the weights, making animal weighing a simple and streamlined process.
