Industrial Livestock Production and Biosecurity Doctrines

An examination of the biosecurity rhetoric employed in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) as an identity-defensive shield against critiques of zoonotic risk.

The 'biosecurity' doctrine creates a walled-off identity for the livestock industry, wherein internal health protocols serve as a proxy for social responsibility while simultaneously masking structural systemic failures.
