Unit of measure of animal weight. Due to high variability of animal species, should be used in combination with AnimalSpeciesTyp. For small animals and rodents UoM should be set to grams. For large animals UoM should be set to kilograms. For drosophila UoM should be set to milligrams.

Due to high variability of animal species (AnimalSpeciesTyp) with different weights/heights, AnimalWgtUoM should be used in combination with AnimalWgtMeasrVal. For small animals and rodents UoM should be set to grams. For large animals UoM should be set to kilograms. For drosophila UoM should be set to milligrams.
