The influence of various housing conditions on the ocular fundus in Wistar rats.
Examinations of ocular fundi were performed on male Wistar rats which were housed for 2 years individually or in groups of 3, 5 or 10 animals per cage. Photographs were taken to make the data objective and provide a permanent record. The results indicated no differences between the various groups, although there were marked differences between individual rats.
