These facilities have no sunlight or fresh air allowing bacteria to grow and affect the livestock. This then results in the animals being provided with antibiotics which is not best for the livestock.

Seeing that grain fed livestock produce less saliva they generally suffer from dehydration, intestine damage and even death.
