It depends. Cows are usually taken from individual farms and put en masse in lots called “feed lots” as an intermediary before the slaughterhouse. These lots are packed together and the animals experience a ton of stress. It’s very easy for them to get sick here due to the conditions, and if one cow gets bad diarrhea, they all might get it. So they tend to treat them all prophylactically to prevent that. The real solution is to ban feed lots and to revise how we do slaughter so it’s more sanitary.
Look at the EU for instance - they can eat raw eggs because they don’t treat them the same as us and they vaccinate their chickens for salmonella. You can also eat chicken tartare in France for this reason.
We don’t have to slaughter animals like this and we shouldn’t.
