production or slaughter animals
This is what we used to call them at Defra (UK). Productive animal can also refer to animals that produce lots of young (like rabbits and rats), whereas production animal is more specific to the production of food.

: This doesn't make enough of a distinction between those which produce food (eg eggs and milk), and those raised as food.//Well, I assume it means animals kept in order to generate long-term income rather than one-off payments on slaughter.
