A factory farm is a farm where chickens are kept in cages and veal calves in crates.
Alternatives to factory farms include keeping cattle on pastures or on open ranges, using turn-aroundstalls
for sows, using free range systems or group housing for sows, and barns and free range for chickens.

Answer to Question 2

The book was Animal Machines: The New Factory Farming Industry by Ruth Harrison.
