Plenty of citation is available if you google the term you don't know. Here's a basic overview of a CAFO (common in US, rare in EU).

Thanks for the patronizing answer to a question I didn't ask

The EU has no shortage of feedlots and zero-grazed cow herds, and yet has phased out routine administration of antibiotics without any noticeable reduction in the animals in these conditions.

Therefore...

I'm asking for a citation for your claim that it's not possible to keep animals alive in these conditions without the use of antibiotics

> If you aren't feeding cattle antibiotic in a CAFO where they're crowded, eating spent brewers grain (mostly from fuel production), and living in filth, then they will get sick and die

Do you have a source?
