ABL 3 Ag , 917.00 m2
6 laboratories with 287 m2 total work area 18 animal rooms: 8 for cattle (45 m2 each), 4 for pigs and small ruminants (16 m²), 6 for small animals (18 m² each) one necropsy suite with 98 m² floor space Facility for highly contagious veterinary viruses of the highest biosafety level (e.g. FMDV, ASFV, PPRV, CSFV): physical treatment of solid and liquid waste and animal carcasses, negative air pressure and double HEPA filters to protect the environment as required by German and international standards; no class III biosafety cabinets or positive-pressure suits, therefore unsuitable for work with human pathogens.
