Effects of diet and type of nesting material on the reproduction and lactation of the rat

Reproductive improvements due to paper nesting material were dramatic. The 10.8 pups per litter weaned by mothers nested in paper was very significantly higher than the 7.0 pups weaned by those with wood shaving. A more sensitive measure of the...
