Abbreviations or the so-called lexical truncated forms are quite prolific in languages for specific purposes, both in oral and written discourses. However, these units have not been systematically included in the terminological works of each field of specialty. This can seriously hinder understanding among international experts. This article looks at 40 French lexical truncated forms taken from the field of animal production science and analyzes them from a morphological and lexicographic perspective with the aim of describing their function in this field of knowledge. Moreover, the equivalent Spanish term for each of them is provided.
