Grass-fed, grass-finished cattle require fewer antibiotics and produce different fatty acid profiles in their meat compared to feedlot cattle. Grain-fed feedlot cattle develop acidosis and bacterial overgrowth, requiring routine antibiotic use as a consequence of their unnatural diet. Feedlot cattle are fed a 70–90% starch diet for the last 200 days before slaughter in confined spaces, causing rapid weight gain and metabolic disruption.
