Mortality
Many chickens in factory farms get sick and die because of the cramped and filthy conditions. Instead of giving their birds more space and a cleaner living area, farmers mix large quantities of antibiotics into the birds’ feed in an attempt to stave off disease, but many of the birds still die. A U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that greater than 99 percent of chicken carcasses are contaminated with E. coli bacteria, largely because of the filthy conditions in the sheds where they are raised. |
