Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Spanish term or phrase: producción bovina/de aves
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.

beef/veal/poultry production


Explanation:
Beef production and veal production are distinct. Veal is a product of the dairy industry.

"The veal industry was created as a by-product of the dairy industry to take advantage of an abundant supply of unwanted male calves."
www.factoryfarming.com/dairy.htm

"Accumulated beef production was up 1 percent from last year, veal was down 22 percent, pork was up 11 percent, and lamb and mutton was up 4 percent. ..."
