(i) Rearing: It means taking care of live stocks and other animals for our commercial purposes like meat and other useful products.

(ii) Shearing: It is the process in which the fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of skin is removed from its body. It is usually done during the hot weather which enables the sheep to survive without-their protective coat of hair. Shearing does not hurt the sheep as the uppermost layer of the skin is dead.

(iii) Sericulture: The rearing of silkworms for obtaining silk is called sericulture.
