feed conversion industry Explanation: or 'plant-to-animal conversion industry'? Both are terms that I made up. Haven't seen anything that comes close to that specific German angle. |

livestock farming Explanation: While the Encyclopedia Britannica defines it as the "raising of animals for use or for pleasure", I think it might fit this specific context (livestock farming as opposed to crop farming). |

Reference: Wikipedia Reference information: "Als Veredelung wird in der Landwirtschaft die Umwandlung von pflanzlichen Produkten in höherwertige Tierprodukte bezeichnet. 'Veredelung' bezieht sich dabei auf den ökonomisch höher angesetzten Wert von Tierprodukten gegenüber der Verwertung von Nutzpflanzen: Futtergetreide, Grünfutter (frische Futterpflanzen wie z. B. Weidegras) und Kraftfutter werden hierbei zur Produktion proteinreicher tierischer Nahrungsmittel (Fleisch, Eier, Milch) sowie anderer Tierprodukte (z. B. Wolle) eingesetzt." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veredelung_%28Landwirtschaft%29 |
