English translation:hatchery

Explanation:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless I don't exactly understand the original, it's 'hatchery', if we are talking about hatching poultry. I am a farmer in US, and that's where I buy my meat and layer chickens and geese - Murry McMurry Hatchery, go ahead, google it.

By the way, 'breeding' is the term applied to cattle, as far as I know, as long as we are talking about simple reproduction. If it's a bird, it's hatched (form an egg). A neighbour on the next farm over is BREEDING cattle (calfs are born).

Just a note, from the McMurry hatchery I gave above as example I indeed buy one-day old chickens and geese, just as in your example.

Well, if they are breeding new varieties, then it may be something else. I mean of course poultry can be bred, but the term is applied specificially to breeding new varieties, not to simple reproduction of the same variety, that 's what I meant to say.

Also, in English, "inclubator" is either a device used for hatching, or a place, with those devices, available for rent, sometimes with support staff. Hatchery, however, is a farm where many different kinds of chickens and other birds are reproduced and sold. They are probably not doing crossbreeding there, but I am not 100% about that.

Ok, then you surely know better:). I guess you do need to use something more official in this case, vs. "dats how we say it in our neck of da woods," which is all my answer is, really :). Thank you for taking time to explain.

From your explanation, I think your whole farm there is what I'd call a hatchery (it can have 300,000 chickens), and it has incubator (eggs kept warm for chicks to hatch) and the breeding facility or unit (where maybe the actual chicks are raised/mated). If you go to an a website of an actual hatchery based in one of the English speaking countries, you may find answers to all of your questions.

If that's what you wanna call it, then why not simply say "poultry breeding farm" - simple and straightforward, and everyone knows that breeding is involved. As long as it's specific enough for what it describes.

Вы уж простите пожалуйста, но не нравится мне этот "репродакшн" в названии, не по-английски как то звучит, на мой взгляд, в сочитании с "farm." Но это мое личное мнение.

-> Thank you.

neutral

Marina Aleyeva: I don't think you need 'pedigree poultry ' either. Where this is a separate farm, 'breeding farm' is the common name. In this case this is a unit rather than a farm, so just 'breeding unit' should be ok.

57 mins

-> I thought племенной implied breeding a particular kind of poultry/horses/whatever. The first thing that came to mind was stud farm, but I thiink that's only for horses.

agree

Sophia Hundt (X): If hatchery is wrong, then what Jack is offering here certainly sounds best. I was thinking the same as you about племенной. And 'stud' is indeed for horses only.

-> Thank you. Hatchery is more commonly used for fish-breeding in UK English, but there are some instances of it for poultry too.

Насколько я знаю, pedigree breeding - это специальная селекционная работа, когда задача - не просто получать поголовье для вопроизводства стада, а получать потомство от определенных линий предков. См. определение для растений. Здесь о такой работе речь не идет, и вряд ли обычная птицефабрика к этому стремится. Их задача-максимум - обеспечить себя бесперебойным воспроизводством стада, чтобы не зависеть от поставщиков яйца и цыплят. По-моему, просто breeding вполне достаточно.

Pedigree breeding-
A breeding system where all the ancestors of any individual in the population are known back to the original "+" trees selected in wild stands.

Ведь само даже название - репродуктор - говорит о том, какие у него цели и задачи: репродукция - это, по-нашему, воспроизводство. Никаких pedigree не нужно. А насчет hatchery вы совершенно правы: это инкубаторная станция.

I simply wrote 'breeding farm' and changed 'hatchery' for 'incubator'

Notes to answerer

Asker: Dont think so, hatchery is not a breeding-based facility, it's what is called in Russian 'инкубатор'. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hatchery

Asker: I believe poultry can also be 'bred'. There are some terms like crossbreeds etc

Asker: The thing is the text is about a large farm (~300000 laying hen etc) . They have both 'инкубационная станция' (I translated hatchery and this 'племенной репродуктор'. I believe its somehow linked to breeding.

Asker: I anyway think that hatchery provides larger meaning than incubator and this 'reproduction facilities' consolidating a few farm units. Have to admit I was wrong to translate инкубатор as hatchery

Asker: one last question - can it be a 'breed-reproduction farm'?

Explanation:
The word репродуктор was introduced into the Russian language some years ago, perhaps in the '70s-'80s, for "reproducing farm," a farm that specializes in reproducing a particular animal/breed, at least according to my notes taken at that time. Now it can also mean grower, raiser.
