Talk:Animal husbandry

Terminology
This article is about the practice and history of animal husbandry. It is not the place for an extensive table of terms used for types of animal; there are plenty of other places on Wikipedia and Wiktionary where such things may be relevant. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Move?
"Husbandry" is a shorter and more concise term compared to "Animal husbandry." Husbandry rarely includes the cultivation of plants and other aspects of farming beyond just animals; for possible confusions, a hatnote to Horticulture would be enough. Yorkporter (talk) 20:02, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Firstly, this is overwhelmingly the term known and used in the field, in textbooks, and elsewhere: it is the usual term of art. Secondly, any resource may be husbanded, so the proposed term is not only an abbreviation for the usual term, close to being a neologism, but is also ambiguous. Thirdly, terms like crop husbandry may be old but they do exist, so there is needless ambiguity there too. We simply should not go there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:27, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
