English term

fowls vs poultry vs birds

English to Spanish Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry
En un documento que tiene listados interminables de productos, en la sección de alimentos para animales:

"Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing prepared feeds and feed ingredients and adjuncts for animals and **fowls**, including **poultry** and livestock feed, alfalfa meal, feed supplements, feed concentrates and feed premixes. Also included are establishments primarily engaged in slaughtering animals for animal feed. Typical products also include **bird** food; buttermilk emulsion for animal food; citrus seed meal; earthworm food and bedding; specialty animal feeds - guinea pigs, mice, minks, etc.; fish food; kelp meal and pellets; bone meal feeds; mineral feed supplements; shell crushing for feed; dry stock feeds; etc."

¿Sería correcto traducirlos como "aves, aves de corral y pájaros"?

Disculpen que haga todas las preguntas seguidas. Tengo problemas con la internet desde hace unos días y quiero aprovecharla al máximo mientras está funcionando.

Muchas gracias nuevamente

aves, aves de corral y pajaros

Creo que has traducido estas palabras correctamente. A veces no hay gran diferencia entre "fowl" y "bird" en ingles, pero "bird food" se traduce por comida para pajaros/pajaritos. Y "poultry" son siempre aves de corral como pollos, patos, gansos, pavos, etc.

agree Richard Boulter : I take the 'birds' to be non-food birds, like parakeets. The rest is indisputable; you should do this for a living ...oh! You already do, huh?

That's the way I see it, Richard. Pajaros makes me think of pet birds or wild song birds, aves is a more inclusive, general term for "avians", i.e., all kinds of fowl, and aves de corral are poultry (chickens, turkeys, domestic waterfowl, etc.).
