Intensive livestock production
Intensive livestock production refers to farming practices that focus on maximizing the output of animals, such as cattle, pigs, and poultry, in a confined space. This method often involves large-scale facilities where animals are fed specialized diets to promote rapid growth and ensure high productivity. While it can lead to lower costs and increased food supply, it raises concerns about animal welfare, environmental impact, and the spread of diseases. Intensive farming aims to produce more meat, milk, or eggs efficiently but can compromise quality and sustainability if not managed carefully.
