CAFO stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation and it refers to a farming system that involves raising numerous animals in a relatively small space.rom the term âconcentratedâ, a large number of animals is involved and subjected to a limited space. This concept of farming is said to be more efficient and cost-effective for the farm owners. Common animals that are raised through the CAFO system include pigs, chickens, and veal calves.
A CAFO attempts to mimic the high volume assembly line production methods of manufactured goods, only with live animals. The key word in CAFO is concentrated. The objective is to place as many animals or birds as possible into as small a space as possible.AFOs depend on corn, soy or other grains that animals are not designed to eat in their natural habitat. The effects of this unnatural feeding on the animals has devastating effects on their health but that is of little concern as long as the end product meets the proper specifications and can create a profit.
