Answer: A, C, D, and E

Explanation:

•CAFOs are facilities where a large number of animals are housed and fed in a confined space.

•CAFOs provide a means of producing great quantities of manure to fertilize fields organically (due to the housing of several animals in one location).

•CAFOs also provide for an experimental plan to test the effectiveness of antibiotics by animal pharmaceuticals.

•CAFOs also initiate the introduction of specially formulated feeds like compacting of grain for use as a nutrient supplement for cattle.

Conclusively, all the aforementioned brings about low cost of animal products (e. g. meat, milk and egg) and improved economic growth.
