Chicken Farming
hello my friends today we are going to
the vast chicken farms in the United
States to see how they produce billions
of tons of chickens and billions of eggs
each year
according to statistics in 2002 the
United States produced 3.2 billion tons
of chickens and around
97.3 billion eggs
in recent years the United States and
China have always been the two countries
with the largest meat and egg production
in the world
here's what's going on at an incubator
on a farm in Pennsylvania
thousands of eggs will be brought here
and incubated for about 19 days
each incubator of this Farm can hold
around 71 000 eggs in each incubation
currently the United States has about
229
000 chicken farms
these are distributed mainly in states
such as Iowa Indiana Pennsylvania and
Ohio
after 10 days the eggs will be moved
through a scanner the scanner is
responsible for detecting and removing
eggs that cannot be hatched
in order to maintain the temperature and
help the cells inside develop in the
most stable way the eggs will be turned
automatically and this is pre-programmed
on the equipment of the incubator
next the eggs will be moved to another
machine
this machine is responsible for
injecting an organic vaccine inside the
egg
this is not an antibiotic at all
once the testing and vaccinations are
complete the eggs will be sent to the
incubator again and in a few days
adorable chicks will be born
foreign
hatching their chicks are able to eat
and drink immediately because the feed
and water were put in the tray a few
days earlier
about 518 million chickens are born in
the United States each year
after a day in the incubator thousands
of chickens will be brought out and
begin a New Journey
weak or crippled chicks will be
discarded and they will be sent to
another production process
for a lot of people this seems cruel but
it is a fact that happens every day on
large-scale chicken farms
thank you
foreign
the healthy chicks will then be moved to
official Farms
thank you
at these Farms workers will use wood
mulch to strip the ground
this is very good material in regards to
poultry farming it has the effect of
absorbing water in chicken manure and
limiting odors
our main characters have
with a large space the chicks can freely
move and play
foreign
the main ingredients used to make
chicken feed are healthy beans corn some
industrial bran and other fiber
every year chicken farms in the United
States consume about 48 million tons of
soybeans equivalent to 40 percent of the
country's soybean production
after two months all of the chickens
here weigh around four pounds and are
ready to be harvested
at this time they'll be living in a
place higher than the ground
this makes it easier to collect manure
and keeps the floor of the chicken coop
dry at all times
newly laid eggs we moved to the trays
through an automatic conveyor system
here the eggs will be carefully arranged
and ready to be transported to
restaurants and supermarkets
in 2022 the average American consumed
about 286 eggs each year and this number
is forecast to increase to 291 eggs in
2023
Chicken Harvest
in addition to raising chickens to lay
eggs large Farms also raise millions of
chickens to serve the Germans for meat
when these chickens reach six pounds the
Harvest will begin
this machine is used to put the chickens
into plastic trays which are then
transported to the chicken processing
plant
foreign
this is what happens at a chicken
processing plant these images may make
some people feel uncomfortable
in this chicken factory the chickens
will be hung upside down and dipped into
boiling water
before coming to the process of cleaning
their body of feathers
chicken legs and chicken necks are also
cut by fully automatic machines
their organs are also completely removed
before the chicken is released into the
tank to be cleaned and disinfected
chicken wings thighs and chicken breasts
are also then separated and packaged
before being shipped to supermarkets
in large-scale chicken farms the life
cycle of a chicken usually lasts only
three to four months before it is sent
to the meat processing plant
how do you feel about the process of
raising and harvesting chickens in this

Goat Farm
hello my friends today we are going to
several goat farms in the United States
to see how the process of raising
millions of goats works
as of September 2022 there are about
2.65 million ghosts in the United States
they are concentrated mainly in states
such as Tennessee Texas California and
Georgia
goat farm in Georgia
after about 145 days of pregnancy
hundreds of female goats here have
started giving birth
according to statistics from the United
States Department of Agriculture about
778
000 baby goats are born each year and up
to 47 of them are born in Texas
foreign
look there are a lot of flies on this
goat farm but that's not much of a
problem for the health of the goats
at one week old these goats weigh about
13 pounds
at this time they will be separated to
another area to drink as much milk as
possible
when the goats reach one month old
they will be allowed to go outside for
freedom of movement and play
goats are considered fully mature when
they reach 18 months of age at this
point the average weight of the goats is
between 110 and 115 pounds
this is a grazing goat farm in Texas
in the morning these herders will
release the goats to the pastures so
that they are free to feed
currently in Texas there are about 1.1
million goats a accounting for 41 of the
national goat population
most of the state's goats are raised for
meat with 83 percent of U.S goat meat
production coming from Texas
in the late afternoon these dogs will be
used to chase the goats into the holding
area which helps them to avoid attack by
Coyotes at night
it is estimated that about 1 100 goats
in Texas are attacked by Coyotes each
year
on several goat farms in South Texas
ranchers regularly move their goats to
different pastures to feed
this helps the pastures last longer and
reduces the incidence of parasites
inside the goats
Dairy Goat Farm
here's what's going on at a dairy goat
farm in California
the goats here have a richer diet with
more grains and protein
currently in California there are about
97 000 goats and 45 percent of them are
raised for the purpose of milk
harvesting
have you ever drunk goat milk before
let us know how you feel about the taste
of this milk
this is the process of milking goats at
a factory in California
This Modern equipment is used to milk 90
goats at a time
each day each goat here can produce 9 to
12 pounds of milk
in 2022 in the United States there are
about 371
000 goats raised for milk and dairy goat
farms are mainly concentrated in
California Wisconsin and Iowa
visit to my youtube channel MAG ASEEL
after the milking process is complete
the equipment is cleaned and a goat milk
collected is sent to the cheese factory
this is the goat cheese factory in
Wisconsin
have you ever eaten goat cheese before
let us know what you think about this
dish
currently South Sudan Spain and France
are the countries with the largest goat
cheese production in the world
here's what's going on at a traditional
goat cheese production facility
how do you feel about the process of
raising and producing goat cheese that
we showed you in this video
let us know what you think in the
comments section of this video
goodbye and see you in the next viDEO
How Are 223,7 Million Turkeys In The United States Raised – Poultry Farming
hello my friends today we are going to several turkey farms in the United States to see how
they raise and then Harvest millions of turkeys according to statistics released in 2020 the
number of turkeys in the United States is about 224 million of which Minnesota North
Carolina are Kansas and Indiana other states with the largest number of turkeys in the
country MAG ASEEL
laughs
here's what's happening at a turkey farm egg incubator in Minnesota with its state-of-the-art
equipment this incubator is capable of producing up to 57 000 turkeys per incubation in recent
years Minnesota has always led the country in the number of turkeys with about 44 million
accounting for 18 of the total number of turkeys in the country [Music] after seven days these
thousands of eggs will be checked to make sure the cells inside are developing well
have you ever eaten turkey eggs
after four weeks thousands of eggs have hatched and these turkeys are ready to start a new
life [Music] this is the procedure for testing and vaccinating one day old turkeys defective
or weak turkeys will be discarded
except for the slightly larger size the newly hatched turkeys do not look much different
from the chickens [Music] once the testing and vaccination process is complete thousands
of turkeys will be sent to Farms currently there are about 2 500 turkey farms in the
United States and the number of turkey farms in Minnesota is about 667.
basically raising turkeys is like raising chickens although they need more time to mature
and harvest currently turkey farms in Minnesota usually need about 180 days before they are
able to harvest meat
these two-week-old turkeys are on a farm in North Carolina currently North Carolina ranks
second in the United States in terms of the number of turkeys with about 33 million Birds
distributed across 389 Farms
[Music] this was captured on a turkey farm in Arkansas currently Arkansas is also one
of the states with the largest number of turkeys in the United States with about 31.5 million
according to statistics turkeys contribute 304 million dollars a year to the Arkansas
economy and the turkey industry provides about 19 000 jobs [Music] foreign [Music] not only
do they live in captivity but many farms in the United States also raise turkey's free
range this is great for the prevention of disease in turkeys and also improves the quality
of the meat
turkeys are considered fully mature when they reach 30 to 40 pounds in weight [Music] the
weight in wild turkeys is only 15 to 25 pounds currently Alabama is the state with the largest
number of wild turkeys in the United States [Music] fee used for turkeys is mainly soybeans
corn wheat and barley [Music]
after about six months thousands of these turkeys are ready for Harvest
[Music] workers will catch and load thousands of turkeys into these cages then the trucks
will transport them to the turkey processing plants in 2021 up to 46 million turkeys were
eaten on Thanksgiving 22 million on Christmas and 19 million at Easter
Alexander Hamilton the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States once stated
that no citizen of the United States should not eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day and this
has come true [Music] this is what happens at a turkey processing plant here thousands
of turkeys will be dipped in boiling water and cleaned of feathers before moving on to
other stages
with modern technology applied this Factory only needs to employ about 40 to 50 workers
in the entire process of processing thousands of turkeys a day
for many years the United States has always been the largest turkey producer in the world
in second and third are Brazil and Germany [Music] foreign
[Music] thank you [Music] foreign
[Music] how do you feel about the process of raising and processing turkey meat in this
video let us know what you think in the comments section of the video goodbye and see you in
the next video
hello my friends with 9.7 million acres of land used for agriculture and about 47 000
active Farms each year Florida's Agriculture and agribusiness industry contributes 161
billion dollars to the state's economy [Music] it is estimated that by 2022 in Florida there
will be about 103 000 Farmers working on farms in addition Agriculture and agriculture related
Industries in the state provide up to 1.5 million jobs each year accounting for 14 of
the state's employment
[Music] in recent years Florida has always been famous for agricultural products such
as oranges sugar cane sweet corn Greenhouse products and nurseries
of which more than 93 percent of orange juice in the United States is made from Florida
oranges
in addition Florida Agriculture is also famous
for its large-scale cattle ranches in particular desert ranchers is the largest cattle ranch
in the state with an area of 295 000 Acres ranked seventh in the list of the largest
ranches in the United States
right now we're in a field in the Everglades City in South Florida here rice and vegetable
Farmers have installed artificial nesting boxes in the middle of their Farms to encourage
owls to come here to live and breed [Music] the creation of artificial nests and the attraction
of barn owls to live on the farm gives the farmers significant control over the rodents
that damage crops this also contributes to reducing the need to use chemical drugs to
kill pests such as rats or insects [Music] it is estimated that rodents such as rats
and insects cause about 7 million dollars in loss to Florida Agriculture each year but
the idea of using else Pest Control has helped farmers in the state eliminate about 43 of
rats in the field
at night each adult barn owl usually hunts and eats at least eight mice in particular
the number of rats hunted will increase when these hours are responsible for raising Young
according to data from the plant and Wildlife Census Bureau there are about 19 species of
owl living in Florida in addition there are 373 farms in the state that are raising hours
as a method for pest control for crops most young owls do not come out of the nest until
they are four months old when they can hunt and survive on their own usually after leaving
the nest the owls often have the habit of nesting and living near the place where they
are born the steady increase in the number of hours living around the farm each year
brings a lot of economic benefit to the farmers who grow sugar cane corn rice and vegetables
foreign
next we will go to a farm in Southwest Florida to see how the farmers here raised
thousands of llamas
currently most llamas in Florida and the United States a race for wool production and as companion
animals in addition there is also a small number of llamas raised for meat basically
the feed use for llamas is quite similar to that that is used for sheep and goats therefore
many farms have combined sheep and llamas to harvest wool
in 2017 there were approximately 39 500 llamas in the United States by February 2022 the
number of llamas raised in the country has increased to more than 165 000.
according to a USDA report by 2022 there are about 31 000 individuals in the United States
who own llamas in particular the number of llamas living in Florida is about 7 300 and
they are distributed in 213 Farms llamas are considered fully mature when they reach at
least 30 months of age at this time the average weight of the female is about 300 pounds and
the average weight of the male is around 360.
currently the average price for llamas in the United States is about 535 dollars of
note in 2017 an Arizona man sold a llama for twenty thousand dollars and this is the record
price to this day [Music] in 2022 the value of the Llama industry in the United States
is 31.3 million dollars a very small percentage of the value of the country's agricultural
production [Music] foreign
to Florida's agriculture we can't help but mention the greenhouse and Nursery Industries
it is one of the state's largest agricultural Industries with more than 15 billion dollars
in annual revenue
according to USDA statistics by 2022 there are 47 000 Acres of Farmland in Florida used
for the Nursery and Greenhouse industry in particular this state is also known as the
incubator capital of the world
today much of Florida's Nursery industry is located in the central and southern parts
of the state concentrated in cities like Apopka Homestead and Lake Wales Florida's Nursery
industry provides a wide variety of plants including native and non-native species in
particular the varieties commonly grown at nurseries can be mentioned as leafy plants
tropical plants and ornamental plants
foreign
to the Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer services the greenhouse and Nursery
Industries in the state provide more than 249 000 jobs each year and most of them are
full-time employment
[Music] in addition to Florida California Oregon and Michigan are also the states with
large greenhouse and Nursery Industries across the country in particular California ranks
first in the country in terms of Industry Revenue was 61 billion dollars per year representing
31 of all greenhouse and incubator revenues across the country [Music]
this is the process of burning sugarcane before harvest in a field in Hendrick County Southwest
Florida
[Applause]
from mid-october to April each year is usually the time when the cane Harvest is at its busiest
in all fields in Florida currently about 443 000 Acres of Farmland in Florida is used to
grow sugar cane accounting for 47 percent of the country's sugarcane area this is also
the state with the largest sugar cane growing area in the country of recent years each year
the Florida sugarcane industry creates approximately 19 200 permanent jobs and contributes to the
state's economy between 4.7 and 5 billion dollars along with Louisiana and Texas the
sugar industry in the United States generates 13.2 billion dollars in Revenue each year
okay
Chicken Farms Produce Hundreds Of Millions Of Chicks With Modern TechnologY
the world of technology is developing contributing to positive changes in the
livestock industry let's temporarily forget the image of chickens naturally
incubating their eggs this is because we have chicks created from mechanical
systems this is how incubators produce hundreds of millions of chicks every
year in the US more than 300 million roosters are hatched every year but because they don't
lay eggs or produce valuable meat they are usually killed within a day of birth they are
often chopped in industrial blenders an estimated 6.5 billion male chicks are killed each year or
around 200 chicks every second egg incubators a new innovation can help poultry Farmers to avoid
the stress of handling D chicks at the same time this reduces the use of antibiotics increasing
productivity and increasing the sustainability of the supply chain an egg incubator is a device that
simulates the mother hand's incubating process by keeping the eggs warm at a specific temperature
range and appropriate humidity it does this with a rotating mechanism in order to hatch
the eggs all modern incubators operate on the same basic principle a fan blows filtered ambient
air over a heating element and a water tank supplemental oxygen can be supplied through a
control valve the egg incubator environment is strictly controlled this is important for the
successful development of the egg embryo farmers can better control the hatching process cess of
chicken eggs resulting in healthier chicks in the process of industrial egg incubation there are
two common egg incubation methods single stage and multiple stages during the single stage incubation
process the incubator only contains chicken eggs of the same embryonic age so farmers can easily
adjust the air to the needs of all the developing embryos meanwhile multi-stage incubators contain
eggs of different embryotic ages usually from 3 to 6 weeks old therefore Farmers cannot adjust the
climate exactly to the needs of all embryos there are many age groups in the incubator
so chicken eggs do not develop uniformly the process of incubating chicken eggs begins with
finding suitable eggs to put in the incubator Farmers choose eggs from healthy chickens
to have quality Offspring the latest generation of imported equipment helps speed up the work
in hatcheries an automatic sorter which can process 60,000 eggs an hour sorts the eggs
into two acceptable sizes before being placed into the incubator the incubator will then un
formly produce eggs and chicks that are similar in size and have the same feeding ability at
this Farm eggs are automatically harvested from nesting areas and transported to the
incubation facility these robots are designed to handle eggs gently reducing breakage and
contamination after the preparation steps the eggs will be put into the incubator the place
where eggs turn into chicks modern automatic egg incubators are equipped with a digital display
and programmable controller this allows users to Monitor and adjust temperature humidity and egg
turning times easily an incubator even offers features like an automatic cooling cycle which
simulates the mother hen's natural cooling behavior during incubation another important
feature of the automatic egg incubator is to automatically turn the eggs eggs will
only have hatch if rotated properly and placed in the right direction in nature mother hands
continuously turn their eggs to ensure even heat distribution and proper embryo development in an
automatic incubator this process is replicated via the use of a gentle turning mechanism turning the
eggs at regular intervals some high-end incubators have a built-in rotation mechanism this carefully
rotates the eggs in precise Cycles throughout the day without interruption this promotes Healthy
Growth and increases the chances of a successful hatch at the same time Farmers also save time
for other things on the farm chicken eggs are usually examined with a light on the 5th and
13th days Farmers examine the eggs to evaluate the level of embryo development at the same time
they identify infertile eggs and dead egg embryos for removal this is also the basis for adjusting
the incubator temperature temperature is one of the most important factors in the
incubation process the incubator must maintain a stable temperature usually around 37.5 de C
and humidity at around 50 to 55% this is ideal Ste conditions for egg embryos to develop and
chicks to grow normally the chick will peck a small hole in the shell and begin to poke its
head out the hatching process takes just a few minutes to complete and your incubator will be
full of baby chicks in no time farmers will let the chicks dry and fluff before moving them out of
the incubator and into a c newly hatched chicks will survive our nutrients from the shell for
3 days then the farmer provides food and water typically hatcheries should be located at least
1,000 ft from the chicken house to prevent horizontal transmission of disease causing
organisms from the chicken house to the Hatchery after hatching the chicks will be subjected to
a series of stressful handling steps such as sexing vaccination and Beak handling the chicks
are then loaded onto trucks and transported to the rearing facility this is a big challenge for
Farmers ensuring Animal Welfare during transport chicks often do not have access to food or water
and the climate is not controlled the earliest hatched chicks can go without food and water
for up to 4 days this leads to high stress levels especially when weather conditions AR un favorable
on Farm egg incubation is an Innovative new method being pioneered in Europe for the broiler industry
at some factories eggs are shipped from the Hatchery directly to the farm on the 18th day
of incubation here they usually transferred from the incubator to the Hatcher the chicks
then hatch directly at their rearing facility farmers can skip the stressful hand handling
and transportation process after hatching chicks here will have immediate access to food and water
benefiting animal welfare and production efficiency overall mortality rate has also
been shown to decrease by up to 18% when chicks are able to start eating immediately they will
begin to gain weight sooner resulting in a 4.4% increase in Slaughter weight immediate access to
food and water also promotes better intestinal development combined with a lack of exposure to
pathogens during egg hatching and transport so the chicks will grow healthier one study found
that farmh hatch chickens use 44% less antibiotics than conventionally hatched
chickens and we 5.6 times more likely to be antibiotic free this is key for large scale
industrial chicken farming facilities in the EU on Farm egg incubation is very popular with more
than 500 million Broiler chickens hatched on farms each year these devices free human labor
up to perform other tasks at the same time it ensures quality and improves Animal Welfare
behind a row of incubated doors at a facility in northern China around 400,000 chicks are hatched
every day in 2023 the country will produce 31 million tons of eggs with a self-sufficiency
rate of 100% modern technology has helped grow China's $ 37 billion egg industry into the world's
largest in China the diversity of goat farming has opened up in many unexpected directions from
Modern high-tech Farms to Natural grazing methods each farming method has an interesting story
reflecting The Innovation and perseverance of Chinese Farmers the goat milk production industry
has increased rapidly in recent decades more than half of the goat milk industry's products
come from Asia more specifically China goats are popular with Chinese Farmers because they require
fewer inputs than cattle and buffalo in this country goats are often raised by Farmers on
small farms characterized by limiting capital and land Reliance on family labor and a mix of
crops and small numbers of livestock small goat Farmers usually own around 15 female
goats currently the government is encouraging Dairy goat farms to expand their Scale based on
a number of available models large Farms often own about 600 female goats or more most of them
reproduce through artificial insemination care steps are similar to other livestock
species and they are even easier to raise on Dairy goat farms in China San goats are quite
popular amongst Farmers as well as this there are a few goat species that are hybrids between
local goat breeds and San goats fing County in China is an area with many dairy goats and more
than 320,000 animals this is a crop production area so Dairy goats are kept in captivity and
fed food harvested from crops the corn kernels were harvested by hand and dried before being
added to the goats menu in addition goats can eat leftovers from other livestock or grazing
Fields if farming is large scale goats are kept in more permanent buildings they are fed in fenced
feeders and there is an outside resting area Farmers usually do not use litter on large Farms
people feed their goats chopped green grass along with a little hay and grain modern technology
will increase working efficiency and improve the quality of husbandry as well as the health status
of goats workers do not need to go to the barn to monitor the goats condition the system can display
each goat's information on a computer screen including gender age weight as well as health
status vaccinations and pregnancy currently this Farm only needs to employ 11 people to
manage 3,000 goats the management program includes Health Care age determination hoof care and Animal
Welfare measures in addition Farmers learn how to recognize diseases parasites and other vaccination
procedures baby goats are usually born between December and March on most Dairy goat farms baby
goats stay with their mother and are cared for in the first month or so to reduce mortality rates
when goats are 1 month old they will weigh around 22 pounds and goats that are not bred for breeding
will be sold Farmers provide hay at least twice a day while nutritious cereals are included in the
diet once a day in the morning the average anal goat consumes about 2 to 3 lbs of feed
per day however this amount of food can fluctuate depending on the goat breed and growth stage goats
usually mature after about 18 months and this is to ensure the best health and development for the
goats for most goat breeds regardless of farm or herd size farmers invest in milking machines the
milk is collected and filtered into a container then cooled with cold water milk is transported
to the processing plant in containers most of the milk is processed into cheese and exported
to other Asian countries the government also provides financial support to Goat Farmers a
farmer will be able to take his goats to a milking station at the local Village here the goats will
be milked by a trained milker if a female goat is treated with medication her milk is separated
authorities believe that milking using centralized machines will improve the quality and safety of
the milk a modern milking station can milk 500 to 600 goats a day cheese does not appear as a
common food ingredient in China as in the US goat products are not as popular as cattle products
however some goat milk companies are experimenting with cheese production for economic development
in China Dairy goats are transitioning from small scale household farming to a big industrial scale
the farm is built according to standards the goat farming industry is growing rapidly with more and
more Farms having a scale of 1,000 to 10,000 goats shangi province is the largest Dairy goat breeder
and the largest producer of goat milk products it has the largest market share in China with
the rapid growth of the market the government encourages shangi Farmers to develop the goat
milk industry by raising 5 million milk goats and producing 1.2 million L of goat milk by 2025
there are about 1 billion goats in the world the countries with the largest populations are
China India and Pakistan amongst them the goat population in China has more than 127 million
goat farms located in a mountainous area can graze freely goats are skilled at grazing using
their flexible upper lips prehensile tongues and front legs to get to the most nutritious
part of plants Farmers take advantage of goat's unique herbivorous ability for grazing from
there the farm can achieve excellent production performance without adding grain goats are an
important livestock species in guu Province this area has vast mountainous terrain and many natural
plant species creating very good conditions for livestock Farmers therefore meat goat production
plays an important economic role in rural development according to Goat experts boowa
goats are crossed with local breeds to produce meat and the hybrids are superior to any of the
parent breeds these advantages make them easy to raise and affirm their commercial position
female goats give birth to one or two babies every 4 to 5 months meat goats
are slaughtered when they are around 10 to 12 months old and weigh more than 77b every
4 months meat Farmers Slaughter animals and sell the meat and organs to dealers H
Min province in nantong jinu Province raises 800,000 goats every year this
number contributes to making the goat farming industry the mainstate economic sector of the
district the journey to discover goat farming methods in China is
like an adventure through diverse and Rich lands from Modern Farms to small
barns to Fields where goats graze all show the creativity and persistent working spirit
of farmers goats are not the species with the highest economic output nor are goat products
popular but Farmers persist in livestock farming and the constant innovation of Chinese agriculture
