Feedlots

Information on Feedlots can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. Feedlots are used mainly for slaughtering animals. However, the feedlots need to have a government permit in order to deal with the generated waste after slaughtering. Animals are taken to feedlots before slaughtering. They are fed with food, rich in fats, which in turn increases the juiciness in the meat resulting from the slaughtering of the animals.

Feedlots in Australia keep thousands of animals in an array of pens. The Australian feedlots need government permission to carefully manage generated wastes. If you are looking for Feedlots in Australia, Yellow Pages® will help your search. Feedlots are referred to as the farmyards, where animals are kept before slaughtering. If you are interested in setting up a feedlot, you will need a government permit, so that you can effectively deal with the generated waste of slaughtering.

Australian farmyards or feedlots in Australia as it is known, also need to have government permission before setting up. The other term for feedlots, is factory farming. Before the livestock are slaughtered, they are taken or kept in these feedlots comprising an array of pens. The animals are kept in these pens and are let to feed on green pastures in order to gain weight of about 650 pounds. Once the animals gain the desired weight, they are taken and kept in the feedlots. Like the other feedlots, the Australian farmyards also feed the animals a specialised diet rich in corn, hay grains, sorghum, and molasses and so on.

The food diet served to the animals is rich in food energy. This special diet increases the fat, which in turn makes the meat juicier. After the livestock gains the desired weight, they are taken to the slaughterhouse for slaughtering. Long running feedlots are not allowed these days by the government.
