OOTL, what practice is this talking about?
Quite a range of things. It's so many It's hard to list them all. Some of these are more global than others:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestation_crate

The one that got me most was Thumping, the standard operating procedure for killing baby piglets. They grab them by the back of the head and smash them into concrete until they're dead, depicted ~6 minutes into Dominion
