Research Facility OperationsFeed & Water Management Software

Optimize laboratory animal facility operations. Automate feed and water calculations, track cage inventories, monitor room environmental conditions, and maintain compliant GLP logs.

Overview

Enforce GLP Standards, Automate Vivarium Management

In preclinical research facilities, the control of environmental conditions, feed formulations, and water quality is critical for study validity. Spreadsheet logs, manual calculations, and paper room sheets can result in data integrity issues and compliance gaps. An undocumented temperature excursion or incorrect feed batch can compromise an entire study.

NextGen Feed & Water Management Software provides a digital platform to coordinate animal facility operations. By tracking feed batches, automating daily consumption calculations, logging room temperature and humidity, and managing cage allocations, the software ensures complete compliance. Technicians scan barcodes on cages and inventory bags using tablets, locking GxP records in real time.
GLP Vivarium Compliance

Maintains compliant environmental and consumption records in accordance with FDA 21 CFR Part 58 and Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Daily Logs

Replaces paper room cards. Automates feed distribution logging, water consumption tracking, and cage checks.

Environmental Monitors

Record temperature, humidity, and air changes. Out-of-spec parameters trigger instant quality alerts.

Inventory Control

Track feed batches, mill dates, supplier certifications, and water quality chemistry analysis reports.

Technical Capabilities

Key Product Features

Explore the rich feature-set built to satisfy GxP validation requirements and maximize quality assurance.

Animal Room & Cage Register

Map room layouts, cage rack structures, species allocations, animal counts, and active study assignments. Print barcoded cage cards.

Feed Formulation & Inventory

Log feed batches, mill dates, vendor quality certificates, and expiration dates. Enforce first-expired, first-out (FEFO) usage.

Water Quality & Bottle Tracker

Track water bottle wash cycles, acid/chlorine levels, microbial testing logs, and automatic watering system parameters.

Daily Distribution Planner

Calculate daily feed and water requirements based on active animal counts and study protocols, generating checklists for technicians.

Environmental Condition Alerts

Log daily temperature, relative humidity, light cycles, and air change metrics, with automated alerts for drifts.

Compliance Log Auditing

Instantly export clean, electronic room cards, feed analysis certificates, and cage check logs for regulatory inspectors.

System Workflow

How it Works

Our software enforces a strict, step-by-step compliant process, guiding assets or audits from draft onboarding to final validation.

1
Study Assigned & Room Allocation

Define species parameters, allocate animal rooms and cage racks, and print barcode tags for cages.

2
Feed & Water Plan Setup

Specify feed formulas, select approved vendors, set water treatment criteria, and input daily check rules.

3
Stock Ingestion & Barcode Scan

Scan incoming feed bags, record batch numbers and milling dates, and upload vendor analysis certificates.

4
Daily Room Inspection & Dosing

Technicians use tablets to scan cage tags, record animal counts, log feed distributed, and confirm water bottle status.

5
Environmental Log Ingestion

Ingest temperature and humidity metrics. Parameter drifts outside set ranges trigger alerts to facility coordinators.

6
Consumption & Refuse Calculations

The software calculates daily feed and water consumption per cage, tracking changes in eating behaviors.

7
Verification & E-Signature Sign-off

Facility managers review daily logs, verify environmental compliance, and sign off using electronic signatures.

Interconnected Ecosystem

NextGen QMS Integration

This module operates independently but integrates natively with other QMS processes to ensure closed-loop compliance and automatic record updates.

SOP Module

Link vivarium operations directly to active sanitization, environmental monitoring, and feed management SOPs.

Training LMS

Verify technician certifications in animal handling and biosafety before allowing cage log check-ins.

Deviation QMS

Environmental deviations (such as temperature excursions) automatically trigger quality deviations in the QMS.

Business Value

Key Benefits

Reduce human error, save quality assurance overheads, and streamline regulatory compliance.

Maintain Study Integrity

Ensure consistency in feed formulations and environmental parameters, protecting research results from variables.

Automate Vivarium Calculations

Eliminate manual calculations for feed distributions and cage density limits, reducing errors.

Eradicate Paper Room Cards

Digital room logs and electronic signatures simplify data retrieval and eliminate paper management.

NIST Traceable Standards

Record all standards and calibration verification tools used during PM to ensure complete audit trail integrity.
