Puesto que el contexto en que aparece el término es bien limitado proporciono información similar que encontré en la web:

ENTREGAN MÓDULOS DE ESPECIES MENORES A FAMILIAS DE VERAPAZ

En este municipio fueron 146 familias beneficiadas, quienes recibieron gallinas ponedoras, cerdos reproductores y ovejas pelibuey.


Familias que resultaron afectadas por la tormenta Ida, en el municipio de Verapaz, departamento de San Vicente, fueron beneficiadas con el Proyecto Entrega de módulos de especies menores de traspatio, impulsado por el Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería ( MAG) a través del Centro Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria y Forestal ( CENTA) y la Dirección General de Sanidad Vegetal y Animal (DGSVA), con el objetivo de contribuir con la reactivación económica y la seguridad alimentaria de los pobladores de ese municipio.

El Proyecto contempla la entrega de pie de cría de gallinas ponedoras, cerdos y ovejas pelibuey, que les permitirá a las familias iniciar sus actividades agroproductivas.

Simplemente me parece que 'module of minor species' es un poco literal y ambiguo; no obstante me gustaría leer la opinión de los demás colegas.

Saludos!

Lydianette Soza (asker) Nov 1, 2015:
I do apologize, actually my question was about the 'module' part since according to the context it refers to certain animals given to poor families to raise them and to some extent alleviate hunger, then I was not sure if translate it as module or ????.

Regarding the 'especies menores' part I fully agree with Neilmac.

Again I do apologize for the additional part.

minor species module

Although I prefer Richard's solution, FDA or EU purposes the literal translation may be required.
“Minor species” are all animals other than humans that are not one of the major species. They include animals such as zoo animals, ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some animals of agricultural importance are also minor species. These include sheep, goats, catfish, game birds, and honey bees among others." (FDA)

You can clinks to "minor species module" on the EMA public website, www.ema.europa.eu (it's down until Tuesday, "Normal service will resume on 3 November")

And the 1st sentence should read "...for FDA or EU purposes..."

small livestock kit

The text appears to be talking about breeder kits of small animals. Perhaps you could rearrange it, possibly along the lines of "backyard livestock kits" to make it more meaningful.
