This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
Some unit codes are an alias for another spelling of the unit code. For example, the code ft2 is an alias for sqft, and that is indicated by entering =sqft in the Symbol column for the ft2 entry. An alias can only be entered after the primary unit has been defined (the sqft entry must precede the ft2 entry).
For small livestock there are corresponding conversions. Depending on the quality of the Alp or Alm a full Stoß may require between 1/2 ha and 2 ha. The Stoß is divided into feet or Füße.
