Yeah but how else can we cram hundreds of animals into a small place while keeping them in extremely unhygienic conditions in order to maximise profit?

You mean to tell me living knee deep in your neighbor's shit is unhygienic? Wild.

bacteoiphage treatments for super resistant bacteria will become standard in the coming decades.

There are quite a few harmful antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains already, so we can't solely rely on the prospect of a potential new treatment.

unless cell cultured meats come in a big way or there is a drastic reduction for demand of meat, overuse of antibiotics in the meat industry will continue which will just keep driving antibiotic resistance in bacteria even further. I don't really have faith in governments to regulate this (doing so would basically kill factory farming) so relying on new treatments is all I can suggest.
