English term

Downer

English to Bengali Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry
I am translating a video on Animal Husbandry, specifically, Sheep Livestock SOPs Video. There are a few terms for which I need meanings in Bengali. Meanings should be in 1 or 2 words, not long since they can't be used in script.

I am requesting a short meaning in Bengali for downer.
Proposed translations (Bengali)

'নিস্তেজ পশু' may be a good option.

Thanks, Keshab.
keshab May 4, 2014:
In that case, transliteration is the best policy.we can called the sheep as "ডাউনার". It is a term of a specialized subject and no exact Bengali synonim exists. We can only say such types of animal as "দুর্বল পশু" (weak animal).
acetran (asker) May 3, 2014:
Reference: Animal husbandary The sheep that cannot stand up on its legs and is slaughtered early is called downer.
