siiku ni tuite setumei wo uke, siikukankyou wo kakuninsuru.

について means about, regarding, or concerning.

So:

• 飼育 = raising / keeping / caring for animals
• 飼育について = about animal care / regarding the keeping of the animal

It connects the topic 飼育 to the noun 説明:

• 飼育について説明を受ける = to receive an explanation about animal care

In について, the に is part of the fixed grammar pattern 〜について, which means about/regarding.

So you should treat について as one unit rather than trying to translate each piece separately in this sentence.

Examples:

• 日本について話す = talk about Japan
• 使い方について説明する = explain about how to use it

Here:

• 飼育について = about animal care

Because the meaning is to receive an explanation, not to give an explanation.

• 説明する = to explain
• 説明を受ける = to receive an explanation

So:

• 飼育について説明を受け = receive an explanation about animal care

This is a very common pattern:

• 指導を受ける = receive guidance
• 治療を受ける = receive treatment
• 説明を受ける = receive an explanation

受け is the stem of 受ける, and here it is being used to connect to the next action.

The sentence is:

• 飼育について説明を受け、飼育環境を確認する。

This is basically:

• Receive an explanation about animal care, and check the rearing environment.

The 受け、 part works like a connecting form, similar in function to 受けて in many contexts. In formal written instructions, using the stem plus a comma is fairly common.

So the sentence gives two linked actions:

1. 説明を受け = receive an explanation
2. 確認する = check/confirm

The comma shows that the sentence is linking two actions in sequence.

So the structure is:

• Aを受け、Bを確認する
• receive A, then check B

It has the feeling of:

• After receiving an explanation..., check...
• Receive an explanation..., and check...

This kind of compressed, formal style is common in instructions, manuals, workplace rules, and procedural writing.

飼育環境 is a compound noun:

• 飼育 = raising/keeping/caring for animals
• 環境 = environment

Together, 飼育環境 means:

• the animal’s living environment
• the rearing environment
• the conditions in which the animal is kept

Depending on context, it could refer to things like:

• cage or enclosure
• temperature
• cleanliness
• space
• food/water setup

Because both 説明 and 飼育環境 are the direct objects of their verbs.

• 説明を受ける = receive an explanation
• 飼育環境を確認する = check the rearing environment

So:

• を marks the thing being received in 説明を受ける
• を marks the thing being checked in 飼育環境を確認する

Even though 受ける literally means receive, Japanese naturally says 説明を受ける rather than something like 説明に受ける.

The subject is omitted, which is very normal in Japanese.

Depending on context, it could mean:

• you should receive an explanation and check the environment
• one receives an explanation and checks the environment
• staff/members/visitors do this

In procedural or instructional Japanese, the subject is often left out because it is understood from context.

So this sentence has an impersonal, instruction-like feel:

• Receive an explanation about care, and check the care environment.

The final verb 確認する is in the plain non-past form. In Japanese, the non-past can cover:

• present
• future
• habitual action
• instruction-like statements

Here, it is best understood as an instructional or procedural statement, not a simple present-tense description of what someone is doing right now.

So it feels like:

• Receive an explanation about animal care and check the environment.
• One should receive an explanation... and confirm...

Yes.

• 見る = look at / see
• 確認する = check / confirm / verify

確認する sounds more deliberate and careful. It implies making sure the condition is correct or acceptable, not just looking casually.

So:

• 飼育環境を見る = look at the environment
• 飼育環境を確認する = inspect/check the environment carefully

In instructions, 確認する is much more natural.

It is read:

しいく について せつめい を うけ、しいくかんきょう を かくにんする。

Word by word:

• 飼育 = しいく
• について = について
• 説明 = せつめい
• を = を
• 受け = うけ
• 飼育環境 = しいくかんきょう
• を = を
• 確認する = かくにんする

Yes, Japanese could sometimes leave it out if the meaning were already obvious, but repeating it here makes the sentence clearer and more formal.

Compare:

• 飼育について説明を受け、飼育環境を確認する。
• receive an explanation about animal care, and check the rearing environment

The repeated 飼育 keeps both parts tightly focused on the same topic. This is common in formal writing, where clarity is more important than avoiding repetition.

If it were omitted, the sentence might sound less precise or slightly less formal depending on context.
