Enriched Cage Systems is a housing system design for laboratory or agricultural animals that, as an improvement over conventional cages, incorporates structural and environmental enhancements—such as increased space, nesting materials, perches, and social housing—to promote species-typical behaviors and improve animal welfare while maintaining scientific or operational control.
