The invention provides a system for respiratory pharmacology test and a
chamber device that enables respiratory pharmacology test on particular
large animals under unanesthetized, unrestrained state, with easy
acclimatization and reduced effect of stress, and a method for conducting
safety pharmacology studies on the same large animal individual. The
chamber device of the invention includes animal cage 10 and transparent
chamber 20, which includes first and second compartments 21 and 22
separated by partition plate 23. The compartment 21 has a door and
ventilation connection port 26, and the compartments 21 and 22 are
provided with communication pipe 29 having opening 29a for introducing
ambient air. The device of the invention has ventilation connection port
26 in a side face of the chamber 20, and communication pipe 29 for
introducing air on the top face of the chamber 20, so that, with the cage
10 placed in the compartment 21, air flow through the compartment 21 is
maintained constantly and allowed to communicate through the cage 10.
