Modern production systems have evolved to boost productivity and efficiency:

Intensive Farming: High-density livestock farming with controlled environments maximizes output per unit area. Examples include concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).

Integrated Farming Systems: Combining livestock and crop production creates synergies, such as using animal manure as fertilizer, which enhances overall farm productivity.

Technology Integration: Automation and data analytics are used to optimize every aspect of animal production, from feeding to health monitoring, leading to more efficient operations.
