GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Norwegian term or phrase:oppdrettsnæring
English translation:livestock farming / livestock industry

Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / industry
Norwegian term or phrase: oppdrettsnæring
Context: Classification of various services - I think its for some kind of business catalogue. Anyway, part of the listing reads:
Oppdrettsnæring - fiskeoppdrett
Oppdrettsnæring - kylling- og hønseoppdrett
Oppdrettsnæring - pelsedyroppdrett.

I'm uncertain about what would be the generic term here for "oppdrettsnæring"? The problem with "oppdrettsnæring" has become more or less synonymous with "fiskeoppdrett", has it not?

"Livestock farming"?

Explanation:
Oppdrett er mer enn breeding ;) Riktignok kalles en oppdretter en breeder, men oppdrett som insdustri kalles vel ellers livestock farming.

As an agronomist I would say that there is nothing in the the term livestock that a priori excludes fish or pultry.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Jeg må si at, rent intuitivt er jeg mest enig med deg, Tore, selv om flere klassifiseringssystemer poengterer at begrepet ikke omfatter "poultry" , for eksempel. Jeg har til i morgen, så jeg venter å se om det kommer inn flere forslag i løpet av natta.

neutral  Bjørnar Magnussen: "except such term (livestock) shall not include aquatic animals or bees" edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HS209 Maybe "animal farming/industry" would be an alternative, though.
