7 mins confidence: Animal welfare certificate/licence
Explanation: Qué es el Núcleo Zoológico? Se conoce como núcleo zoológico a la documentación o licencia que deben obtener todos los establecimientos que se dediquen a la recogida, adiestramiento, acogida, venta, cría, compra, etc. de animales o mascotas. Requieren de un núcleo zoológico un albergue, centro de adiestramiento, residencia, establecimiento donde comprar y vender animales, criadero y resto de instalaciones destinadas a mantener de forma temporal a los animales.

It can also mean "zoo", but since it's followed by a number, and the asker says it's a rescue centre and "este número se necesita para poder abrir un centro de este tipo", it's obviously referring to the licence here.

| Reference: Some additional thoughts..
Reference information: http://progalgoenglish.wordpress.com/sign-petition/ We ask for a rigorous control of the breeding facilities, applying the existing laws incl. the one for microchipping, rabies vaccination and the ***“nucleo zoológico”, (a permit to keep and breed animals according to the existing laws incl. adequate kenneling, veterinary care, etc.)*** http://www.nucleozoologico.com/ (link already provided by philgoddard, so I will not repeat information). Personally, I believe "zoological nucleus (core") is a literal translation, and a poor one at that. The hits on Google (approx. 108 results) are unconvincing and many appear to be non-native translations. Secondly, it is the "permit"; and thirdly, one possible way of dealing with your question may be to use a Translator's Note (TN) to explain the concept, as one or two words in English may not adequately explain the actual meaning of the term (nucleo zoológico).
