'I have joined colleagues to express concern over the affects of zero-grazed livestock. This process confines animals to sheds for all or most of the year.
'I am deeply concerned that this is unduly restrictive and oppressive, limited investigations indicate a higher incidence of health problems for such animals.

This type of intensive farming is not to be condoned.
