Biological Plant
Biological Plant
a self-supporting state enterprise engaged in the manufacture of biological preparations for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of animal diseases. In the USSR, biological plants were first established in 1930 in veterinary bacteriological laboratories and stations producing vaccines and serums. The early biological plants had a low output and a narrow range of products. By 1970 most of the biological plants were broader enterprises manufacturing eight to ten kinds of biological preparations.
