Factory farming is a type of intensive animal agriculture that involves the mass production of livestock, such as cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals, in confined and often inhumane conditions. Factory farms are designed to maximize efficiency and profit, often at the expense of animal welfare. Animals are typically kept in overcrowded, unsanitary, and unnatural conditions, and are often given hormones and antibiotics to increase their growth rate and reduce the risk of disease. Factory farming has been criticized for its environmental impacts, including air and water pollution, as well as its contribution to climate change.
Factory farming is a major component of the global livestock industry, and is responsible for the majority of animal products consumed in the world. Companies in the factory farming market include Tyson Foods, Cargill, Smithfield Foods, JBS USA, and Perdue Farms. Show Less Read more
