What should be the diet of animals that we consume?

The Living Force
My further family has a farm where they bred animals, chickens, pigs, rabbits ... They are fed with corn and wheat, which they produce, herbs from the garden ...
How is this kind of animal nutrition good later due to our consumption of meat of the same animal?
Do any of the members of the forum" grows" animals or you are using a different diet for animals for breeding?
My family offered me to breed animals with a minimum fee, for example, 1 kilogram of pork for- 1 euro, chick 1 kilogram- 2 euro, cracklings and fat get free ...

In desire to eat healthily, I would like to know whether they feed animals "well". Please advice, thanks in advance :) :) :)
 
The diets for different farm animals can vary and this stands for the breed of animal as well. For instance certain heritage breeds of pigs are really hearty and able to forage for a lot of their food, but many breeds do need supplementation with grains. It's ideal if the grains are non-GMO and the animals quality of life is a factor as well.

If your family's animals forage, there are some considerations for each animal type as well. Some breeds of rabbits are able to be raised on pasture during certain parts of the year (with the appropriate enclosures for protection), however they shouldn't eat from the same section of land twice in the same year because worms, parasites and such can become a problem. In any case rotation is always important for pastured raised animals.

If you'd like to look into pasturing methods Allan Savory and Joel Salatin are both good sources. There are some good books which you might be able to find on backyard chickens, rabbits and such too.

All and all though, an animal raised on a small family farm will generally be much, much better than buying meat from the supermarket.
