Abstract:  Laboratory animal facility is a scientific research platform which is raising, using and managing the laboratory animals. More scientific and effective management approaches used in the facility could assist users to obtain accurate research results more efficiently. This paper introduced a new developed information management system by using an open source database software MYSQL. It was developed based upon the needs of practice and could be applied to small scale laboratory animal research platform. The function of this system consists of ethical management, animal ordering, cage message record and statistical analysis. With the support from internet, QR code and mobile terminal technologies, the researchers are able to conduct the experiment application, check and view the animal condition, collect cage information in actual time, and order the cage by using a mobile terminal. The administrative staffs of the facility receive and process all applications and orders either in the lab computer or in their personal mobile phone. This system is well met the real requirements of daily work in our facility. The system enables researchers and facility staffs update the information, collect data, indicate malfunction in real-time, share the data and information simultaneously and conduct the relative calculation and analysis. All of these performances are conducted online in paralleled, which significantly reduces errors and saves labor cost.
