Industrial Farming, also known as intensive animal farming, industrial livestock production and factory farming are ways of modern farming that produces massive amounts of livestock including; cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep and goats.
Their aims are to produce the highest output using low cost using machinery and biotechnology. High stocking density in these farms require the pesticides and antibiotics in order to prevent the spreading diseases. They are also used to increase growth speed of the animals in order to increase the amount of flesh available.
The animals are often treated in poor conditions, jammed into small cages, force-fed, tortured by humans (workers) and unwanted animals that are sick or weak are left to die and rot in garbage.
This action is becoming very popular worldwide as of 2006, 74% of world's pigs, 43% of beef, 68% of eggs were produced using the factory farming according to the Worldwatch Institute (an environmental research organisation based in Washington D.C).
