In this process, it often doesn’t matter how animals are treated and
under which circumstances they have to grow up as long as the
profits are high.

Advantages of Factory Farming
When you are at the grocery store next time, take a look at the price
of chicken legs.
You will likely see that one pound of chicken will be even less
expensive than a pound of tomatoes.
···
That’s nuts! We are talking about an animal life here which is sold
cheaper than crops from a plant.
Thus, once farmers have set up their factory farming processes, they
do not have to take too many adjustment e!orts anymore.
···
High profits
Factory farming also often involves high profits for farmers. Even
though they only earn a few cents per animal, due to the huge
amount of meats they sell to grocery stores, factory farmers are still
able to earn high profits every year.
The bigger the farm, the more animals can be raised and the higher
the profits in the long run.
Space optimization
···
Through factory farming, also the space for raising cattle and other
animals is used in a quite e"cient manner.
Since animals are penned up and each animal only has quite limited
space, a high number of animals can be raised.
Since factory farming has been around for quite a while now, the
processes around factory farming have been optimized as well over
time.
This not only includes the processes inside the farm, but also the
logistics around it.
···
The slaughter will no when he has to pick up those animals and will
free his capacities in order to be able to process them in time.
After the slaughter finished his work, the meat will end up in our
grocery stores quite fast.
···
Although some farms may only specialize in raising one animal race,
there will likely be many factory farms around and the meat supply
with all kinds of meat will be ensured in most regions.
This not only gives the consumer high levels of freedom of choice
regarding what kind of meat he or she wants to have, but it also
increases the level of competition and consumer prices for meat
may also drop due to that.
Through the use of specific animal food that contains large amounts
of proteins and other substances that foster growth, animals on
those farms can be raised at a fast pace.
Also the monitoring is carried out mainly by robots that are able to
detect all kinds of diseases and also determine when it is time to
bring animals to the slaughterhouse.
···
While meat was quite a scarce good and was quite expensive a
century ago, it is no considered to be a mass good and nothing
special anymore.
Since those farms are often closed and protected against all kinds of
weather extremes, they are rather independent of outside
conditions.
···
···
You will find your favorite kind of meat all year long, no matter if
there is hot weather or heavy snow outside.
