Detailed explanation-1: -A CAFO is an agricultural facility that keeps a large number of animals confined to a small, densely populated space. Unlike free-range farms where cows graze through a pasture, or chickens forage for food in fields, CAFOs bring feed to their animals who are forced to remain stationary.
Detailed explanation-2: -In animal husbandry, a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO; popularly known as factory farm), as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is an intensive animal feeding operation (AFO) in which over 1, 000 animal units are confined for over 45 days a year.
Detailed explanation-3: -CAFOs produce large amounts of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and manure which can negatively impact human health and the environment if not managed properly.
