animal feeding

Giving creatures food

Animal feeding is the act of giving food to animals, whether livestock, pets, or wildlife.

The term appears in agricultural contexts for scheduled provision of feed to farm animals, and in public settings where signs may prohibit or regulate the practice: No animal feeding in the park.

It also names the activity as entertainment or education: The zoo's animal feeding starts at noon.
