A plurality of animal confining cages are movably mounted on one of the sets of guide members. The cages have a water supply system thereon for supplying water to the interior thereof. A flexible hose extends between the cages and the main water supply for facilitating (1) a relative movement between the cages and the carriage and (2) a supply of water from the main water supply to the water supply system on the cages. A releasable coupling is provided for permitting a disconnection between the flexible hose and the main water supply to facilitate a removal of the cage from the carriage for transport to a location remote from the carriage. Each of the cages has a plurality of compartments located therein, which compartments are located on opposite sides of a food trough.
