English to Spanish: Example of an Eng>Spa translation of a poultry industry matter Detailed field: Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Source text - English Broiler Respiratory System
The commercial broiler of today has the genetic potential to grow very rapidly. An increase in body weight by four-fold during the first week of life is considered the norm, and body weights of 2,300+ grams at 42 days of age are common. This tremendous growth potential has resulted from intensive genetic selection. However, this increase in muscle mass has not occurred proportionately with increases in other body systems. Thus, the bird of today has the potential to grow more rapidly, but is more fragile. For example, the heart and lungs are a lower percent of body weight than in chickens of 5 and 10 years ago. For this reason, birds are much more susceptible to stressors that affect the respiratory and/or circulatory systems. Mortality resulting from ascites, heart attack, heat stress, and respiratory complications are costly to the poultry industry (Figures 1, 2 and 3). Twenty years ago, these diseases were of much less significance, as birds were more resistant. The respiratory system must function properly and cannot be compromised in any way if maximum performance is to be realized.
Translation - Spanish El pollo de engorda comercial de hoy en día tiene el potencial genético de crecer muy rápidamente. Se considera como la norma un aumento de cuatro veces el peso corporal durante la primera semana de vida, para lo cual es común tener pesos corporales de 2,300 gramos o más a los 42 días de edad. Este tremendo potencial de crecimiento es el resultado de una intensa selección genética. Sin embargo, este aumento de la masa muscular no ha sucedido en proporción a un aumento en otros sistemas corporales. De esta forma, el ave de hoy en día tiene el potencial de crecer de forma muy rápida, aunque es más frágil. Por ejemplo, el corazón y los pulmones representan un porcentaje más bajo del peso corporal, que el de los pollos de hace 5 o 10 años. Debido a esto, las aves son mucho más susceptibles a los factores de estrés que afectan a los sistemas respiratorio y circulatorio. La mortalidad que resulta de la ascitis, ataques al corazón, estrés por calor y por las complicaciones respiratorias, es muy costosa para la industria avícola (figuras 1, 2 y 3). Hace veinte años, estas enfermedades eran de mucho menor significado, ya que las aves eran más resistentes. El sistema respiratorio debe de funcionar adecuadamente y de ninguna manera debe ponerse en riesgo, si se desea obtener el máximo desempeño.
