We already know that Medicine is now in our Water just from the Human Population. Now how about Parasites all Species have them. Now congregate an enormous number of a Species in a fixed Area. Things can become pandemic quite quickly. How about escapement or Species in close proximity of these densely populated Pens.

So there is a lot to consider here.
