Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry
German term or phrase: "artgerechte Tierhaltung"
eine weitere Verwendung der Matten:
"Die Firma YYZ hat für eine artgerechte und moderne Tierhaltung spezielle Boden- und Wandbeläge entwickelt."


Soll man wirklich sagen, dass diese Gummimatten einer artgerechten Umgebung entsprechen? ("keep animals in their natural environment"??)
Oder sollte man das artgerecht hier ignorieren? Sind Gummimatten artgerecht? Wo sind die Tierfreunde unter uns?

agree  Cetacea: It may sound "awfully translated" to David, but it is commonly used by native speakers/authors in zoology. See e.g. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/zoo.1021/abstract

agree  784512 (X): With Phil. This is the "standard" translation I've seen. I've read a fair bit about the topic. A paraphrase would also work provided it did not change the tone of the source.

  -> Didn't realiize this term's potential for tongue-twisting..
agree  784512 (X): A nice paraphrase that sounds a bit more natural. Either this or the currently leading answer will work and not imply something different.

neutral  784512 (X): That isn't what the source says. Artgerechte Tierhaltung is a specific concept, based on treating animals differently in accordance with what is important to each species. Temple Grandin, etc.
