What is the problem of poultry industry?

like any industry, keeping down costs is essential. One way to do this is the keep very large numbers of birds is relatively small spaces.

Battery hens are kept in cages in barns and are force fed to produce lots of eggs. They need to be fed antibiotics to stop disease spreading. The conditions are considered inhuman by many people.

Barn Hens are also kept in barns but are free to forrage within he barn. Less hns can bekept so costs are higher.

Free range chickens are free to feed on fields. These are the costliess hens to keep but the conditions are considered the highest and most humane.
