minor animal husbandry

It is likely that most farms practiced some limited animal husbandry; poultry or small animals grazing on waste land or fed kitchen scraps.

I think it is not just a sideline but also implies small animals.

Peer comment(s):

agree Lancashireman : Was thinking of posting 'sideline' but refrained from doing so because it sounds rather dismissive. I would prefer your option with 'limited degree of'. You are most definitely correct in your choice of 'animal husbandry' rather than 'livestock raising'.

livestock raising as a sideline

Ich habe es verstanden, dass die Tierhaltung eher eine sekondaere Taetigkeit auf diesem Betrieb ist und der Ackerbau mit Direktvermarktung die Haupttaetigkeit.
