German term or phrase: tierische Veredelungswirtschaft
Rund 90 Gäste waren gekommen. Der Vortrag drehte sich um Herausforderungen für die ***tierische Veredelungswirtschaft***.

Wildeshausen - Gutes tun – das ist das Hauptinteresse, das die Gäste des Freundesmahls haben. Dabei geht es nicht nur um den guten Zweck, in den der Erlös des Festmahls des Freundevereins der Diakonie Himmelsthür fließen soll. Es geht auch darum, etwas Gutes für sich selbst zu tun.

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).

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.

neutral  Michael Martin, MA: As a translation for Viehwirtschaft, this is great. For 'Veredelungswirtschaft', not so much

animal husbandry


Explanation:
Animal husbandry is the science of breeding, rearing, and caring for farm animals, which are raised for meat, milk, eggs, etc.

By the way, "husbandry" should not be confused with "husband."

"husbandry has nothing to do with being a husband, and a lot to do with being a farmer. If you cultivate the land or breed animals, you are practicing husbandry."

This could alternatively be referred to as "the raising of domesticated animals."

Perhaps "the animal husbandry sector" would be a more appropriate translation for this context.

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."
