"Factory Farm" is a farm in which animals are used for food or animal products regardless of the animal health condition or living conditions. The focus of the industrial agricultural process is to gather as much livestock as possible in the available space to produce as many products as possible. The most common factory agriculture concentrates on the production of meat, eggs, milk for human consumption. Animals are kept on outdoor meadows and farms before they have a factory ranch. Animals will be taken care of for what they can produce until they no longer produce them. For example, chickens are kept outdoors and housed in poultry houses. When the chick stops laying eggs, they are slaughtered and can be eaten. When an animal is injured, there is a high possibility that meat like beef will be produced. It is not just slaughtered in 4 to 5 months.
