Spanish term or phrase: circunscribe la esterilización
This is the text on a PowerPoint slide so there is no more context than it is about spayed cats and food for them:

En ese ejercicio de normalidad en el que se circunscribe la esterilización, el usuario de AEGE (meaning a specific kind of kibble) sigue fielmente lo que el veterinario aconseja:

Cambiar la alimentación
No se plantean “no seguir” esa recomendación
Entra en su lógica


Does "circunscribe" mean "limit" or "restrict" perhaps? When looking for synonyms I have found a variety of words and I am not sure which would be correct, apart from what I have posted here. HEEEELP, please :-0((

Within this standard exercise in which sterilization is performed
Explanation:
There are of course any number of ways one can express this, but I agree with Bea's interpretation of "se circunscribe" here, and my understanding of "ejercicio de normalidad" is "standard exercise."

I find the Spanish here a bit tangled, and I can see why you would have been confused.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Robert, I have translated it as "Sterilisation is a normal practice, where the SFSC user closely follows the vets advice"

Asker: I agree that the source text is a bit tangled!! You should see the rest.... :-0((

agree  JohnMcDove: From a Spaniard viewpoint, I'd say the Spanish is slightly pedantic. "Tangled" to be translated, but I don't see a big problem "Spanish-Spanish". :-) /./ Okay. As a Spanish native I don't see a problem at all. Mind you, I studied before the LOGSE. ;-)

  -> Thank you for the agree, but I would argue that the meaning is unclear and even misleading, since the Spanish implies (at least in my reading) that sterilization is taking place as part of some other procedure.
agree  neilmac: Too wordy in English for my liking, but this is indeed what it says...
10 hrs
  -> I agree, but I felt an obligation to be faithful to the Spanish in this instance. Thank you, neilmac.

agree  neilmac: "this" isn't even necessary either. (IMHO the Spanish is... "carried away by the exuberance of its own verbosity"... Something I was warned against in primary school.
