Caged Animal Feeding Operations and the Environment

Environmental scientists and social activists are beginning to claim that cage animal feed operation (CAFO) is harmful to the environment in various ways. CAFO is the result of human progress over 10,000 years as a result of the transition of hunting / collecting society into agricultural society. The transition from hunting / collecting society to agricultural society led to the establishment of major cities, bringing population increase in Mesopotamia. Over time, countries are beginning to get more populated, especially in the United States due to the population increase and the need to meet higher demand for food.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Animal Feed Operation (AFO) is "Behavior to rear and keep animals under restricted conditions".

Animals are animals equivalent to 1000 pounds of fresh weight. 1000 Animal units correspond to 1,000 beef cattle, 700 cattle, 2,500 pigs with a weight of 55 pounds or more, 125,000 broilers, or 82,000 laying hens or laying hens

Most agricultural animals in this country are raised in the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Breeding Operation) environment, where they live close distance, standing and covering with their own feces, forced to eat unnatural meals It is.
