Tom, I'm not sure you can take that as being read - there are plenty of livestock reared for slaughter that aren't on such intensive diets - for starters I would have thought that RIVAL is referring to those that are intensely factory farmed. Not all livestock is reared in this way for slaughter - in fact, a lot of it isn't! I wouldn't know the exact amounts fed as its been some years now since I helped out on farms with the livestock but a lot of stock is fed on a mixed diet of grazing, roughage (hay, silage etc) & concentrated feed with the roughage generally fed in the highest proportions.

Welcome to the forum, jejquade - a word of advice, calling people "lower than the excrement on your shoes" because they participate in something you disagree with is ill advised!
