CAFO’s in New Zealand CAFOs in New Zealand Done by Jaye So I’m doing my seminar presentation on Factory Farming in New Zealand … Done by Jaye

What does CAFO stand for? - Concentrated (or Confined) Animal Feeding Operations or also known as Factory Farming In New Zealand, our farms usually consist of chickens, pigs, cattle and fish … “New or existing operations which stable or confine and feed or maintain for a total of 45 days or more in any 12 month period more than the number of animals specified – they also have no grass or other vegetation in the confinement area during the normal growing season.” To be classed as a CAFO the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says the farm has to be a “New or existing operations which stable or confine and feed or maintain for a total of 45 days or more in any 12-month period more than the number of animals specified. They also have no grass or other vegetation in the confinement area during the normal growing season.”

Is it legal in New Zealand? Yes it is legal in New Zealand as long as the farm follows regulations and laws surrounding it. But what about the way animals are sometimes treated? Current animal welfare legislation works to protect factory farming *practices* not the animals. SAFE (Save Animals From Exploitation) It is currently legal in New Zealand, although SAFE is working to get factory farming banned because of the practises and small cages that go with it.

What is the layout of these farms? This is a salmon farm in the South Island. Conventional hen caging

What is the layout of these farms? Indoor shed at dairy cow farm Pigs in single crates

Advantages: Cheaper products Less land space used for farming More job openings for the community Brings more money into the community

Disadvantages: Animal cruelty Products often low quality and low nutritional value Pollution – environmental impact Make it harder for free range farmers to earn income
