Lab Animal Bedding Market Size And Forecast

Lab Animal Bedding Market size is growing at a moderate pace with substantial growth rates over the last few years and is estimated that the market will grow significantly in the forecasted period i.e. 2024 to 2030.

Increasing the use of bedding to bind the animal excretions in order to keep their living environment dry and comfortable is the major factor that propels the market growth. The Global Lab Animal Bedding Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Laboratory animals are important research tools and every effort should therefore be made to ensure that they are accommodated in an optimal environment. Bedding is an important environmental component that is often ignored but really needs thorough consideration before experiments are carried out. The use of suitable cage bedding and nesting material is an essential husbandry practice that may result in a reduction of stress in animals. It may also result in an improvement in the micro-environment by enhancing hygiene by means of reducing ammonia levels and absorption of moisture.

The type of bedding used is determined by the purpose for which the animals are utilized. For laboratory animals, conditions must be optimized in order to eliminate variables, other than those imposed by the experiment. Many different types of contact bedding and nesting materials have been utilized in the past. This includes processed wood products such as shavings, wool, chips, shreds, filaments and sawdust, paper products, peat moss, cotton, ground corncobs, peanut hulls, hay, and inorganic substances such as attapulgite and certain clays, and even organic compounds such as polyethylene granules.

Global Lab Animal Bedding Market Overview

So, one of the biggest things helping the market for animal bedding grow is how much it helps keep animal homes clean and comfy by soaking up, well, you know, their "business". We ran into this ourselves when we moved some mice from a pre-diabetes study. They were living in a place that used recycled paper bedding, but then we moved them to a place with corncob bedding. Now, these mice were on a high-fat diet – it's a common thing in diabetes research – and normally they'd be packing on the pounds. But on that corncob bedding, they weren't gaining as much weight as they should have! This got us thinking, and we ended up doing a deep dive into the data we already had from those mice. We compared them to a later bunch of mice that stayed put in the second facility, using only the recycled paper bedding.

And hey, let's not forget that switching up their bedding or moving them from one building to another could mess with their gut bacteria – you know, their intestinal microbiota. If that gets out of whack (dysbiosis), it could definitely change how they digest and absorb their feed. But, some research from another lab suggests that bedding changes don't really do much to their microbiota. Plus, once they get used to a new place, the gut bacteria of moved animals seem to go back to normal. So, we're pretty confident that any differences we're seeing in feed conversion between weeks 4 and 5 aren't because of changes in their gut bacteria caused by new bedding or a facility move.

However, effects of environmental changes, including bedding, on various aspects of the experimental design have been documented in other studies. The current study supports caution when choosing bedding types for diet-induced models. Although the corncob bedding did not reduce the amount of feed consumed by the mice, it did affect the efficiency with which animals were able to convert the consumed feed into body mass. Additional research should be performed to find the cause of this corncob-associated decrease in feed conversion.
