WHAO MIKE! Female rabbits can kill their own babies?! Also, do chickens also eat their own feces?!

Well, that is an interesting/funny question, LOL!
And it is a little tricky!
Yes it is Possible, and they Can, but it does not means that it is Good or that they Should.
Since these animals are farmed, it is the farmers responsibility to ensure the animals are fed properly and have access to good food. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes intentionally, due to greed, and at other times unkowingly, out of ignorance or by sheer accident.
While not all foods create disease/disaster,i.e. Mad cow disease, why not aim to feed animals a "proper" diet. Why risk it?!
I have heard of a farmer feeding dairy cows expired candy, like gummyworms, etc. because he got it in bulk and it was a cheap way to raise their calorie intake! And a lot of those lollies contain gelatin, which is animal derived....
I have seen hungry cattle chew on just about anything, including fencing "tape" which has wires in it, and they are usually smart enough to not eat plants which are poisonous to them, but not Always! So yes, I believe they would eat just about anything, so it is vital to prevent these accidental ingestions by running a safe and tidy farm....

Chickens are the pigs of the bird world--they'll eat anything, including each other. Chances are a cow would eat a hamburger, simply because you offered one, but they wouldn't eat them normally. Rabbits are debatable because the ones I've kept were picky about what they were served.

yes
cows got the mad cow disease from meat in their feed

it is recommended to feed female rabbits hamburger prior to giving birth to help control killing the the babies.

I think for insistence if you gave a pig its usualy mix of all kinds of fats and mushed up food i bet if u gave it mushed up pork or ham or sausage or anything its made up mushed in its food it probably never noticed
I mean wild animals eat their own if very hungry
