Pronunciation: [ˈanɪmə͡l ɹˈe͡ɪzɪŋz] (IPA) 
The spelling of "animal raisings" follows the rules of English pluralization. The word "animal" is a singular noun ending in "al," which means its plural form ends in "als." However, since "raising" is also a noun in this context, it remains in its singular form. Thus, we add an "s" to the end of "animal" to make it plural, resulting in "animal raisings." This is transcribed in IPA as /ˈænɪməl ˈreɪzɪŋz/.
Animal raising refers to the practice of breeding, nurturing, and caring for animals for various purposes, such as for food production, companionship, research, exhibition, or commercial trading. The term encompasses a wide range of activities involving the rearing and management of animals in different settings, including farms, households, zoos, laboratories, and pet stores.
In the context of food production, animal raising typically involves the selective breeding and raising of livestock, poultry, or fish, primarily for meat, eggs, milk, or other animal-derived products. This may include providing appropriate nutrition, shelter, veterinary care, and husbandry practices to ensure the well-being and productivity of the animals. Animal raisings are often carried out on commercial farms on a large scale to meet the demands of a growing human population.
However, animal raising is not limited to farm animals. It also includes the breeding and care of domesticated pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, and smaller mammals, which are primarily kept for companionship, exhibition, or commercial purposes. Additionally, animal raising can encompass the management and conservation of wildlife species in protected areas, national parks, or zoological institutions.
Overall, animal raising involves the responsible and ethical stewardship of animals, prioritizing their welfare and health while meeting human needs and societal demands. The practice requires knowledge of animal biology, behavior, nutrition, and welfare, as well as adherence to regulations and guidelines governing animal care and management.
