Industry Leaders
Animal Care Systems unique motor-free carousel design provides the highest and most ergonomic cage density.
Our microenvironments are free of noise, vibration, and ultrasound. Our patented airflow system directs and filters room air through the cages and racks directly into the building’s HVAC exhaust system. This system creates a calm, laminar airflow that provides an environment ideal for housing, experiments, and breeding.
Our pie-shaped cage has been enhancing rodent life since 1997. Results obtained from Animal Care Systems cages are reliable, advantageous, and trouble-free.
Our Mission

Our Vision
Benefit humans, animals, and the environment through innovation.
Our Story
Enhancing the welfare of rodents by making critical changes to the mechanical and architectural design of the forced-air IVCs.
In 1997, Dr. Germain Rivard, a Ph.D. DVM Neuroscientist founded Animal Care Systems, providing a modern solution for animal housing that puts animal and human welfare at the forefront of design. Dr. Rivard invented a patented technology to individually ventilate rodent microenvironments to provide improved conditions for both animals and researchers focusing on four fundamental necessities: microenvironmental comfort, isolation, containment, and enrichment.
Animal Care Systems proudly carries on the tradition of our pioneering founder and strives to continually innovate and improve animal housing in support of animal and researcher welfare.
