In regions with a lot of chicken CAFO's they feed the chicken manure/litter/sweepings from the chicken houses to cattle in nearby feedlots. From what I've heard, when they process these cattle in the slaughter houses there is a strong odor of chicken manure present. If any of this makes your stomach turn, then raise your own food. At least that way, you know exactly and can control what goes into your food.
Besides the unsavory feed inputs, the high amounts of antibiotic use in CAFO's has generated numerous strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria which can get on and in you when you handle the raw meat and then can cause problems the next time you have to take antibiotics for an infection or surgery.
