Cattle breeding
Hi, all. I'm trying to find out if a sufficiently-technical English expression exists corresponding to "vir a óbito".
I'm NOT looking into obvious solutions such as "the animal died", "was declared dead", or "death occurred".
The context is a research in which beef cattle was divided into two groups: 1) healthy cows or 2) animals suffering from "downer cow syndrome" or those that "vieram ao óbito horas antes com sintomas da síndrome".
Your help is much appreciated.

to die
Henrique, NÃO existe NADA além de *to die* para este caso. Vir a óbito, como eu disse, é gente querendo falar difícil.

Comment: "Thanks to all respondents! Denise is right: we're talking about cows here, so I decided to go with the simplest way of stating it: they DIED. Other suggestions might be useful in the future in different contexts."

: Pass away is a *softer* way of saying died and throughout my 26 years as a translator of medical/veterinary medicine texts, I have never seen it used for animals.
