Spanish term

el lactante (animal)

Spanish to English Medical Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Estoy traduciendo las instrucciones para llenar una planilla de solicitud de registro sanitario venezolana.

" Estudios Toxicológicos Especiales: igual al punto Nº xxx. Realizados en 3 especies de mamíferos, una de las cuales no debe ser roedora ni lagomorfa.

• Fertilidad, Reproducción y Teratogenicidad deben comprender los siguientes aspectos:
Efectos del principio activo en el comportamiento sexual, maduración, embarazo, parto y puerperio.
Índice embriotóxico y fetotóxico (hasta 3 generaciones), evolución de las crías.
Efectos del principio activo sobre la secreción láctea y **el lactante**."

Tengo dificultad para encontrar el equivalente en inglés. En un artículo de la FAO encontré "animal giving milk", pero pienso que en el caso de mi consulta se trata de la cría del mamífero que se está alimentando, no de la madre.

Mil gracias por su ayuda
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, Rachel Fell

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Chema Nieto Castañón Oct 14, 2019:
Efectivamente, efectos sobre el lactante debe leerse probablemente en este caso como referencia a la cría amamantada (suckling animal) y no como referencia a la madre que amamanta (lactating animal) -aunque la expresión resulta ambigua en castellano. Pej.

La prioridad para el animal lactante es proveer a la glándula mamaria con los nutrientes y cambios metabólicos para el anabolismo y catabolismo. Las reservas endógenas generadas durante la preñez comienzan a movilizarse...

Aquí, animal lactante es utilizado con el sentido de lactating animal y no como referencia al suckling animal.

El 'lactante' se refiere a la cria, como bien dices (no tengo acentos).
