Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): 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.

not different animals.. ---but different rearings, the traditional ones (with animals having faster growth times) and this particular kind of rearing, with animals having slower growth times. that's all I can understand from my text, no more details, sorry..

Vedi se può andare questa proposta:

Compared to standard farming methods, the growth rate of our animals is two to four times slower.

I think growth times is needed here. The animals take longer to grow. Growth rates would mean they grow quicker.

Marika, the answer you have selected is WRONG. It says the exact opposite of what the text is saying. I'm not asking you to pick my answer, just be aware for your translation.
