'Haltung' and 'Aufzucht' can both have to do with caring for animals. 'Haltung' means the general keeping and care of animals, whether they are young or adult. 'Aufzucht' is more specific: it is about young animals or plants being raised until they can live independently. The words can be confused because with young animals, both often occur together. As a simple guide: 'Haltung' is the ongoing handling and care of animals, while 'Aufzucht' is the phase of raising them.
