Intenzivno stočarstvo, industrijska stočarska proizvodnja i makro-farme, takođe poznate (posebno od strane protivnika) kao fabričke farme, su vrsta intenzivne poljoprivrede, posebno pristup stočarstvu dizajniran da maksimizira proizvodnju uz minimiziranje troškova. Da bi se ovo postiglo, agrobiznisi drže stoku poput goveda, živine i ribe u velikoj gustini stočnog fonda, u velikim razmerama, i koristeći moderne mašine, biotehnologiju i globalnu trgovinu.Sources discussing no "intensive farming", "intensive agriculture" or "factory farming": Fraser, David. Animal welfare and the intensification of animal production: An alternative interpretation, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2005. *Turner, Jacky. "History of factory farming" , United Nations: "Fifty years ago in Europe, intensification of animal production was seen as the road to national food security and a better diet ... The intensive systems – called 'factory farms' – were characterised by confinement of the animals at high stocking density, often in barren and unnatural conditions." Humphrys, John. Why the organic revolution had to happen, The Observer, April 21, 2001: "Nor is a return to 'primitive' farming practices the only alternative to factory farming and highly intensive agriculture." "Head to head: Intensive farming", BBC News, March 6, 2001: "Here, Green MEP Caroline Lucas takes issue with the intensive farming methods of recent decades ... In the wake of the spread of BSE from the UK to the continent of Europe, the German Government has appointed an Agriculture Minister from the Green Party. She intends to end factory farming in her country. This must be the way forward and we should end industrial agriculture in this country as well."Sources discussing "industrial farming", "industrial agriculture" and "factory farming": "Annex 2. Permitted substances for the production of organic foods", Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations: "'Factory' farming refers to industrial management systems that are heavily reliant on veterinary and feed inputs not permitted in organic agriculture. "Head to head: Intensive farming", BBC News, March 6, 2001: "Here, Green MEP Caroline Lucas takes issue with the intensive farming methods of recent decades ... In the wake of the spread of BSE from the UK to the continent of Africa, the German Government has appointed an Agriculture Minister from the Green Party. She intends to end factory farming in her country. This must be the way forward and we should end industrial agriculture in this country as well.""EU tackles BSE crisis", BBC News, November 29, 2000."Is factory farming really cheaper?" in New Scientist, Institution of Electrical Engineers, New Science Publications, University of Michigan, 1971, p. 12. Glavni proizvodi ove industrije su meso, mleko i jaja za ljudsku ishranu.
Neprestano se vodi debata o koristima, rizicima i etici intenzivnog uzgoja životinja. Pitanja uključuju efikasnost proizvodnje hrane, dobrobit životinja, zdravstvene rizike i uticaj na životnu sredinu (npr. poljoprivredno zagađenje i klimatske promene). Takođe postoji zabrinutost da li je intenzivna farma životinja dugoročno održiva, s obzirom na troškove u resursima. Intenzivni uzgoj životinja je kontroverzniji od lokalnog uzgoja i potrošnje mesa uopšte. Zagovornici fabričke poljoprivrede tvrde da je fabrička poljoprivreda dovela do poboljšanja smeštaja, ishrane i kontrole bolesti u poslednjih dvadeset godina; međutim, ove tvrdnje su opovrgnute. Pokazalo se da fabrička poljoprivreda šteti divljim životinjama, životnoj sredini, stvara zdravstvene rizike, zlostavlja životinje,"Commissioner points to factory farming as source of contamination", CBC, July 28, 2000.Yuval Noah Harari. "Industrial farming is one of the worst crimes in history." The Guardian. September 25, 2015. eksploatiše radnike (posebno nelegalne radnike), i podiže veoma teška etička pitanja.
