[animal / research / experimental animal] colony


Explanation:
Animal colony (7,790 hits on Google)
Research colony (3,410 hits)
Experimental animal colony (24 hits)
The above references were in the context of veterinary schools or research laboratories.
Colony alone would be sufficient if the rest of the context is clear.

Justification: Many years translating texts in the field of veterinary medical research.

\"Animal collection\" [833 hits for \"animal collection\"+veterinary+ school] is another possibility:

... and is a 1983 graduate of the University\'s School of Veterinary ... teaching classes and providing veterinary care for their non-domestic animal collection. ...

The point is that in the context here, especially in a research paper, the emphasis is on the animals, not about where they are kept.
