English term or phrase: Oxpecker
Não encontro a tradução do nome desta ave em lado nenhum - faz-me lembrar um pouco o "Woodpecker" (Pica-pau), mas que de algum modo deve estar relacionado com gado, uma vez que o documento é sobre um medicamento para gado e fala em "Oxpecker Compatible".

"Oxpecker" - A brown African bird related to the starlings, feeding on parasites that infest the skins of large grazing mammals.

Obrigada.
