Term difficulty: Área de Producción Animal

I have seen "Producción Animal" animal translated as both animal production and livestock production (both of these terms are used in English).

Context in source text:

1) Es responsabilidad del personal encargado del área de producción animal, detectar estas deficiencias y corregir caso sea posible, caso contrario comunicar inmediatamente y buscar posibles soluciones.

2) Toda persona que este de servicio en el área de producción animal deberá mantener una impecable higiene personal en todas las etapas de trabajo.

Asker: Thank you James. I just wanted to make one-hundred percent sure that there was not a different agricultural term that I should be using. I apologise for the rather straight-forward question.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you for your help Emily. I agree that livestock would fit the agricultural context of the source text as there are frequent references to "cattle, swine, and goats, and other herd animals."
