Intensive animal farming, industrial livestock production, and macro-farms, also known as factory farming, is a type of agriculture that involves mass animal production designed to create foods and goods with little costs. To make this possible, agribusinesses keep livestock make as much cattle, poultry, and fish as possible in a crowded area. The main products of this industry are meat, milk and eggs for food.
While intensive animal farming can create large amounts at a low cost with less human labor, it is controversial because of ethical concerns of how these animals are treated and killed.
