Italian term or phrase: zooprofilattico
I know "istituto zooprofilattico" has been translated as "veterinary epidemiology center" or "center for infectious disease in animals", but given the description of the place in the text, neither seems to be a fully satisfactory translation.
"L'istituto svolge attività di ricerca scientifica sperimentale veterinaria, di accertamento dello stato sanitario degli animali e di salubrità dei prodotti di origine animale". The last part of the description, in particular, makes the aforementioned translations incomplete. Any ideas for a more thorough translation? Thanks
