As the intelligence level gradual improving in domestic laboratory animal facilities，a large amount of valuable data has been accumulated. The data has not been fully exploited due to lacking of analytical means. In the context of Big data, Machine learning algorithms have achieved remarkable results in biomedical, building science and other fields, and also provide a reference for their application in laboratory animal facility management. In this paper, the contents, methods and models of machine learning methods applied to various systems of laboratory animal facilities at home and abroad are reviewed and prospected.
