Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
En la mayoría de los países latinos existen dos palabras que en los anglosajones se confunden. En castellano se distingue perfectamente entre zootecnia, ciencia de la cría animal [...], y ganadería, arte u objeto práctico de esta ciencia. Lo mismo sucede en francés entre "zootechnie" y "élevage" [...]. En inglés, por el contrario, el vocablo zootecnia constituye un neologismo técnico poco empleado, estando más generalizada la voz "animal breeding" para designar tanto a la ciencia como al arte aplicados a la cría animal. 2, record 1, Spanish, - zootecnia
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
zootecnia: No confundir con ganadería, que es una técnica de la zootecnia. 3, record 1, Spanish, - zootecnia
