As in any hospital, biosecurity has taken on great importance in the equine clinic, due to the risk of welcoming potentially contagious animals.
Strict rules must be applied to avoid ill animals contaminating other patients.
Four animal risk categories have been defined, mainly in terms of the risk of contagion.
Moreover, hospitalised foals are subject to particular precautions, in order to strengthen the protection of these highly vulnerable patients and prevent them from contracting nosocomial infections.
In addition, specific measures apply to the surgical block.
