The CAFO Concern.

                                            
                  In this blog i will discuss the  Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO)I will use The CAFO Reader by Daniel Imhoff. Imhoff , says since fast food restaurants are expanding,there is a greater demand for meat. Hence the CAFO system was implemented in 1950,the main reason is to produce meat at a faster rate.
                The animals are given antiobiotics to increase their growth. So the old system of rearing animals in open pasture cease to exist. They cannot compete with CAFO, for it is too costly and takes longer to produce  meat for the market.
                
                The CAFO operation is not without controversy, the animals are raised in confinement in large quantity.They hardly move around and  sits on their feces and urine throughout their growth.
