Swedish term

Har besättningen villkorad läkemedelsanvändning

Swedish to English Social Sciences Livestock / Animal Husbandry
The phrase 'Har besättningen villkorad läkemedelsanvändning' comes up in a report regarding medcations given to cattle on a farm. I would read this as 'Does the livestock have habitual use of medical products', but it doesn't sound quite right and I'm not sure of the word 'villkorad' in this context.... any help appreciated!

besättning=farm herd Besättning is the technical term for the herd/animals run at a single farm. So that's the livestock -- owned by the farmer for production. As in 'is the herd covered by a contract for conditional ...'

But I'd really need more context to make it sound good.

Thank you Deana, this fits perfectly, but I still need to know how the word 'besättningen' fits in...

conditional use of veterinary medicinal products

This is a question about whether the herd is covered by a specific use agreement/contract to treat the animals with drugs. As explained in the Swedish link.

The EU link seems to be the way it is discussed in English (p 8 item 29) "Farmers of certain species of animals may choose to enter into a contract with a veterinarian for ‘conditional use of veterinary medicinal products’ which enables them to identify and treat specified conditions..."

You'll have to fit the question into the wider context of your text.
