Abstract: Provided is a new method of measuring an amount of movement of an animal. A measurement value of an animal as a measuring target is sequentially measured with a scale (21), an amount of change in the measurement value obtained in chronological order is calculated, and from division of the amount of change in the measurement value by a weight of the animal, an amount of movement of the animal is measured. Accordingly, weight differences between individual living bodies and in the process of breeding are eliminated, and an amount of movement of an animal based on changes in the weight of the living body can be measured.

Abstract: Provided is an animal weighing scale that automatically measures a weight of an animal by a simple configuration. The animal weighing scale includes a breeding container for laboratory animals and a scale including a weighing pan supported by a weight sensor, the weighing pan is disposed inside a breeding space of the breeding container, and the weight sensor is disposed inside or outside the breeding space, and accordingly, based on a measurement value change when an animal inside the container is placed onto the pan, a weight change of the animal can be continuously recorded.
