Cattle are fed with corn and soya beans in order to get maximum weight and faster growth. Cattle in natural roam freely and eat grass, now a day 's cattle 's are fed with grains which affect the nutrients in the meat which we eat. Grain-fed cows are often given antibiotics, hormone injection to gain maximum weight which affects the fatty acid, amino acid and nutrient value. Grass fed cattle is rich in Vitamin-E, Omega 3s, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium. The amounts of these nutrients are less in grain fed cattle.
Farmed fish are fed with soy, poultry litter, hydrolyzed chicken feathers. Farmed fish are treated with drugs for its growth and to prevent disease as it grows in contaminated water. Fish consume all unhygienic food and grow. This farmed fish are usually contaminated with PCB, brominated flame retardants, pesticides, DDT; when consumed these fish are acts as carcinogens.
Dairy cattle are treated with Recombinant Bovine (man-made growth hormone) to boost milk production. rBGH or rBST is the man-made hormone given to cow to increase the milk production. Milk secreted from this cow has a higher level of Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) which causes breast, colon, prostate cancer in the human. It is banned in most of the
