Answer:

The animals in CAFOs are most often dairy cows, hogs, or chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

CAFO animals are confined at least 45 days or more per year in an area without vegetation. CAFOs include open feedlots, as well as massive, windowless buildings where livestock are confined in boxes or stalls.
