The Pagnacco site of the University farm "Antonio Servadei" is part of the so called Doidis Complex, an area that includes Villa Rizzani, an English-style park, several rural buildings, and agricultural land. The villa, built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, overlooks the town of Pagnacco and is surrounded by a park managed by the Regional Forestry Service.

Later, the Villa Rizzani complex was transferred to the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region administration. After the 1976 earthquake, the Univeristy farm temporarily sheltered cattle from damaged barns and stored agricultural tools, which are now displayed in the Fontanabona Farming Museum.

In 1982, part of the Doidis Complex—including Villa Rizzani, the rural buildings, and the surrounding land—was granted to the University of Udine on a 30-year loan. During this period, Villa Rizzani hosted the past Department of Animal Sciences, while the land and rural facilities were used for livestock breeding and scientific research in the fields of animal husbandry and veterinary science.

Currently, with the renewal of the loan until 2035, the University of Udine manages the Pagnacco facility, now designated as the "Center for Animal Husbandry, Aquaculture, and Wildlife Management." Research at the center—primarily conducted by the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences (DI4A)—requires ministerial and regional authorizations to ensure compliance of the facilities. The Pagnacco site was granted the authorization to conduct research on fish, ruminants, and coypus. It also hosts the “Research and Coordination Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation,” recently established under regional legislation.

Thanks to its location in an area of high natural value, the Pagnacco site offers opportunities to develop new research and training projects, not only for the academic world but also for schools and the local community. The Company has already collaborated with school groups on citizen science projects, documenting local and rehabilitated wildlife species through video recordings and data collection.
