Swedish term or phrase: med rekrytering (in this context)
mjölkkor med rekrytering
Examples on Google such as the following
Rekryteringen är de kalvar man måste spara för att ersätta gamla kor eller kor som genom sjukdom måste slås ut ur besättningen.
Does anyone know how the industry would say "med rekrytering" in English please? Any attempts using the word recruitment has brought up nothing but job-related pieces.
TIA

with/by recruitment
Explanation:
"Recruitment" is actually a fairly commonly-used term with regard to animal populations. (I'll admit I've seen it used more often with regard to wild animals, however.) The example sentences are from the links below, respectively.

Sorry, that second sentence should start, "The herds are not, however, . . . "

Example sentence(s):
  • We compare purchases as a percentage of gross herd recruitment (purchases plus births) by species across periods in Table 6.
  • tse herds are not, however, able to maintain themselves by recruitment from breeding, and draught animals have to be purchased from other ethnic groups.
