Spanish term

producción bovina/de aves

Spanish to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry
The context is a module for a vetinerary medicine degree.

An EU document translates "producción bovina" by "beef and veal production", but I don't think using the meat names is the most appropriate option for this context. I'm thinking "cattle production/farming/breeding". Anyway, I'll see what you guys come up with.

I'm afraid I have no more context. I just have a list of module names.

It is for a University in Spain so people reading it will be from US, UK, Aus, but also Germany, Scandinavia etc... I'm writing in British English, although I try and be careful to avoid anything that could be completely misunderstood by US readers.

cattle/poultry production

You could also use the term "livestock". I grew up on a ranch and this was the terminology I often heard used

But if this is for a veterinary degree it could be \"Animal Husbandry\".It is really hard to say with the limited context but

agree Ana Battaglia : Me parece bien tu respuesta ya que bovinos no creo que sea beef ya que el ganado bovino puede ser utilizado con diferentes destinos (y para faena, como carne, es sólo uno de ellos)
