The Santa Fe province of Argentina is one of three main sectors responsible for dairy production in the country of more than 1.5 million dairy cows. This small dairy farm holds 280 cows some for milking, some pregnant mothers, some calves as well as a variety of other animals including pigs, hens, roosters and a few horses.

Workers keep calves in separate areas from their mothers likely depending on age, with younger animals kept chained to individual bucket feeding stations, which were mostly empty, and others in small metal cages. Almost all of the calves show signs of diarrhea, respiratory issues and lethargy from dehydration. The milking process of the adult dairy cows was efficient, but without concern for sanitation as cow feces and mud covered the ground and feces often fell from the tails of cows being milked. The internal organs and other parts of a freshly slaughtered pig had been tossed into a wheelbarrow outside a shed adjacent to the milking area.

Like chickens and turkeys, ducks are farmed at an industrial scale in many parts of the world, including Australia. For the duration of their lives—seven weeks—they live in large sheds that have no water to swim in and are not cleaned. Because ducks are water fowl, their legs are not built to stand for long periods of time. On top of this, ducks raised for meat are bred to grow unnaturally fast. As a result, they often have broken legs, in addition to other injuries. They also frequently have illnesses that result from not being able to bathe. This farm held hundreds of thousands of ducks, at a density of eight ducks per square meter.
