factory-farmed

factory-farmed
mainly British, American factory farming - a system for producing eggs, meat, and milk quickly and cheaply by keeping animals in small closed areas and giving them food which makes them grow quickly.

Factory-farmed chickens contain a lot of fat because they're kept indoors and don't get any exercise.
