Feedlots are specialized facilities where livestock, primarily cattle, are raised in a confined space to maximize meat production. In these areas, animals are typically fed a high-energy diet, which often includes grains and supplements, to promote rapid growth. Feedlots are designed to efficiently manage large numbers of animals, ensuring they receive adequate food, water, and veterinary care. The primary goal of feedlots is to prepare animals for market in a shorter time frame compared to traditional grazing methods. This system allows for increased meat supply to meet consumer demand while also raising concerns about animal welfare and environmental impacts associated with concentrated animal feeding operations.
