français term
démedicalisation
français vers anglais
Sciences
Agriculture
Animal husbandry
I am unsure of the meaning of this term. According to all the research I've carried out on the Internet, the meaning still appears unsure. The document I am translating relates to animal husbandry. The actual context is "ou la démedicalisation en production hors-sol telle celle engagée en production porcine".
I believe they are talking about reducing the amount of drugs given to animals which are caged rather than free-range. The term "demedicalisation" seems to fit this but should I use this term or explain it as "reduction in the use of drugs"?
Help, as usual, appreciated.

Note from asker:
Many thanks for your input, Wendy and Safetext. The client did not accept the word "demedicalisation" and preferred "reduction in hormone enhanced growth" |

I'd use demedicalisation only if the article is talking about the first case but 'reduce drugs' if it is talking about the second case.
As drugs are a synonym for medicine, I'd still use drugs if they are talking about both cases
Hope you see what I'm trying to get at.
