饲养

• 拼音: sì yǎng
• 汉字拆解: 饲 = 饣+ 司 — to feed animals; 养 = 羊 (sheep) + 食 — to nourish, to raise

含义

To raise; to breed; to keep animals. The act of feeding, caring for, and rearing animals over a period of time.

Used in agricultural, zoological, and domestic contexts. Encompasses the full scope of animal husbandry — providing food, shelter, veterinary care, and management. Also used for pets (饲养宠物), zoo animals (动物园饲养员 — zookeeper), and livestock. Slightly more formal than the colloquial 养.
