Definition
饲料 (sìliào) refers specifically to animal feed, such as for livestock, poultry, or pets. It differs from 粮食 (liángshi), which is grain for human consumption, and 肥料 (féiliào), which is fertilizer for plants. 料 (liào) alone is a broader term meaning 'material' or 'stuff', and can also mean animal feed in context.
