Feeding Experimentation Device （FED）是一种用于测量小鼠食物摄入量的开源设备。 FED 还可以通过实时数字输出将食物摄入量测量与其他技术同步。在这里，我们提供了 FED 的构建、验证和使用的分步教程。

饲喂实验设备的总体目标是创建一个开源设备，可以测量小鼠在家庭笼子环境中的食物摄入量。这种方法可以帮助回答喂养和肥胖领域的关键问题，例如特定的神经回路是否可以驱动不同的食物摄入模式。这种技术的主要优点是它是开源的，并且与家用笼兼容。

它可以在没有专用设备或笼子的情况下测量食物摄入量。当我们用手称量大量小鼠的食物摄入量时，我们第一次想到了这种方法。这非常耗时且容易出错。
