Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / animals
French term or phrase: especes mineures
Once again, this is from a fax discussing the test of E. coli, etc, in slaughterhouses in France.

Full sentence:

La methode decrite dans cette norme devra-t-elle s'appliquer uniquement aux **especes mineures** (moutons, chevres, chevreaux, canards, oies ...) ou egalement aux bovins, porcins et poulets ?

It has nothing to do with size obviously because chickens are smaller than goats.

Less imporant animals?
Secondary animals?

Any ideas?

Explanation:
Espèces mineures : Toutes les espèces animales autres que les bovins, les porcs, les poulets, les dindons, les chevaux (non destinés à la consommation), les chiens et les chats. Les espèces mineures comprennent généralement les animaux de compagnie et les animaux destinés à la consommation non-traditionnels.

Minor species: Any animal species other than cattle, swine, chickens, turkeys, horses (as a non-food animal), dogs and cats. Minor species are generally pets and food-producing animals that are non-traditional.
