Intensive farming or intensive agriculture is characterized by a low fallow ratio and generally the high use of inputs such as capital, labour, or heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers relative to land area.
This is in contrast to many sorts of traditional agriculture in which the inputs per unit land are lower. With intensification, energy use typically goes up, either provided by humans, or supplemented with animals, or replaced with machines.
Intensive animal husbandry involves either large numbers of animals raised on limited land, usually confined animal feeding operations (CAFO) often referred to as factory farms, or managed intensive rotational grazing (MIRG). Both increase the yields of food and fiber per acre as compared to traditional animal husbandry, but in a CAFO the animal feed is brought to the animals which are seldom moved, and in MIRG the animals are bunched up and constantly moved to fresh forage.
Before there can be a conflict, there must first be a common interest; before there is an advantage, there must first be something different. We all share the same common interest...space. We all (animals, vegetables, and minerals) compete for the same space we have no choice but to share. And I can't help but be concerned how it seems there is something seriously wrong missing from this equation.
Well, our population has exploded beyond the capacity of our "Pale Blue Dot's" ability to sustain this growth; even maintain it at it's current level. Due to progress, all these people have to be fed as well as jobs created in order for them (and even charity) paying for it. Simply becoming a vegetarian, or feeling sorry for these animals, not going to solve this problem of animal abuse.
As a species, there are limitations, flaws in the way we think. And until we take these limitations into consideration, and act on them collectively, we are doomed to failure.
This will definitely solve our animal abuse problem for good if we do not.
(LET"S TRY THIS ONE. LEFT OUT THE RELIGIOUS REFERENCE THIS TIME AROUND...? IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHY I AM BEING CENSORED, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE GOD'S THOUGHTS ARE YOUR THOUGHTS BY ANYTHING SHOULD BE FEARING NO ONE ELSE... AS HE WHO FEARS GOD SHOULD FEAR NOTHING ELSE. i WANT TO KNOW GOD'S THOUGHTS?)
+Jim Ed Avery For the last time! this is about cows and calf abuse. Post all your personal thoughts on your page. If you want to comment on our postings, let it be only about the mentioned animal. Your comments about your personal life, has nothing to do with our theme. Then you post about sex and now God?
Snap out of it! Our next option is to block you . Stop it!
+Stop Animal Abuse Something tells me you have a lot of kids that need feeding, milk. Lol Alright. I will leave you alone.

Though veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from male calves (bull calves) of dairy cattle breeds. Generally, veal is more expensive than beef from older cattle.
The modern veal industry has strong connections with the dairy industry. To produce milk, cows must be lactating, and to be lactating, they must get pregnant and give birth. Since only female calves are used to produce milk, use of male dairy calves is limited, outside of breeding.
The veal industry's integration with the dairy industry goes beyond the purchase of surplus calves. It also buys large amounts of milk byproducts. Almost 70% of veal feeds (by weight) are milk products. Most popular are whey and whey protein concentrate (WPC), byproducts of the manufacture of cheese. Milk byproducts are sources of protein and lactose. Skimmed milk powder, casein, buttermilk powder and other forms of milk byproducts are used from time to time.
