Animal confinement facilities

Animal confinement facilities are specialized structures used to house and manage livestock or other animals, often in large numbers. These facilities include barns, pens, or cages designed to provide controlled environments for feeding, breeding, or growing animals such as pigs, chickens, or cattle. They aim to optimize animal health, welfare, and productivity while facilitating efficient management and care. Regulations often govern their construction, operation, and waste management to ensure safety, cleanliness, and ethical standards. Such facilities are essential in modern agriculture, enabling the sustainable production of food products like meat, dairy, and eggs.
