Tech/Engineering - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / bird flu / foot and mouth
German term or phrase: Desinfektionsschleuse
This was set up to prevent the spread of bird flu from one area to another, (eg on the bridge leading to RĂ¼gen in 2006).

All the British articles I've read about similar outbreaks there talk about 'disinfectant mats', but the 'Schleuse' is a bit more than just the mat, because it also incorporates the possibility to wash down vehicles.

I was thinking of 'sluice' - would that fit here?

neutral Michele Johnson: Sluice I associate almost exclusively with the flow of water or liquid, not cows/people/equipment. Maybe too literal?

Asker: You see, I knew my brain was being hindered by the word 'Schleuse=sluice'. I *knew* there were lots of other words hiding around the corner, not showing themselves, teasing me ..... Thanks Hermann!!
