When animals are kept in the pasture-based system they are allowed to
graze openly and eat nutritious grass and other green plants that are
easily digested by their bodies. The animals welfare is greatly
increased when they graze on green pasture.
Sustainable livestock raising also helps in reducing damage to the
environment and the produces such as meat, eggs and milk is much more
nutritious and taste better then food from factory farms.
Animal Health Benefits:
Livestock that are raised in limited factory farms have less quality
life than those raised on pasture. Animals when raised on gree pasture
can move around and live an organic life where else in factory farms
the livestock are all crowded in confined facilities. These facilities
don't have sunshine or fresh air allowing bacteria to develope and
affect the livestock. This then leads to the livestock being provided
with antibiotics which is not good for the livestock.
Since a lot of livestock eat grass, grazing them on pasture has a lot
of benefits. Some of the benefits will be the livestock are able to
produce secretion which is great for neutralizing acids that is in
their gastrointestinal system. As grain fed livestock produce less
saliva they generally suffer from dehydration, intestine damage and
even death.

It's no uncertainty that sustainable livestock farming is the way to go
if you would like to be a successful livestock farmer. The livestock
are raised in a healthy way and the produce is healthy for us human
