What chemicals are used in Intensive farming?

  • Answer:

    Vitamins A and D were found in the 1920's when intensive farming started. These vitamins are added to the feed; animals no longer require exercise and sunlight for growth. Antibiotics arrived in the 1940's, stopping disease from spreading across the animals and increasing productivity. Hormones are put into animals to increase productivity Fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and pesticides increase productivity but increase pollution and erosion and poison the rivers and the animals living in those rivers
