Quarantine and isolation area.

Veterinary control of animals entering these installations is carried out before they are moved to their rooms. In addition, to avoid the entry of pathogens to the rest of the installations, there is a quarantine room with ventilated racks and negative pressure to house animals that do not comply with FELASA recommendations and are awaiting rederivation.
