Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is a complex physiological process critical for normal GI function. Disruption of GI motility occurs frequently in GI diseases and as side-effects of therapeutics. Whole gut transit measurements in mice, like carmine red leading-edge transit, form the cornerstone of in vivo preclinical GI motility studies. We have developed an easily achievable, labor-saving method to measure whole gut transit time in mice. This approach uses inexpensive, commercially available materials to monitor pellet production over time via high definition cameras capturing timelapse video for offline analysis. We describe the assembly of our automated gut transit setup and validate this approach by comparing conventional transit measurements with transit delay by loperamide. We demonstrate that compared to the control group, the loperamide group had slowed transit, evidenced by a decrease in total pellet production and prolonged whole gut transit time. The control group had an extended transit time compared with the results reported in the literature. Whole gut transit rates accelerated to times comparable to the literature by disrupting cages every 10–15 min to imitate the conventional approach, suggesting that disruption affects the assay and supports the use of an automated approach. A novel automated, inexpensive, and easily assembled whole gut transit setup is labor-saving and allows minimal disruption to animal behavior compared to the conventional approach.
