A simple system for nutritional studies with chronic consumption of liquid diet in rats.
A feeding system allowing liquid diet distribution to rats without any loss by evaporation is described. A liquid diet stirred continuously is offered to rats in water bottles. The diet is made available to the animals without any clotting throughout the 24-h period. Such a system could be applied to alcohol administration.
