The Animal Research Facility contains the following:

1. A pen which contains 6 rams and sheep, and is used for researches in male fertility.
2. A rodents unit that contains mice, rats and rabbits. This unit is located in two areas:

• The southern unit with ten rooms, where the animals are kept under conventional conditions, with control of environmental conditions as necessary.
• The northern unit with four rooms, where the animals are found under SPF (specific pathogen free) conditions. This method prevents contact of the animals with infectious agents.

There are a total of 800 rodent cages in both units. The six animal house workers have specialized in modern methods for caring for laboratory animals according to the law.
