you might try the PETA website (www.peta.com), i bet if they don't have it, they'll have links to where you can find out. Also, I believe they have "The Meatrix" on their website which is a hilarious (although a wee bit preachy) Matrix spoof focusing on factory farming.

hope that helps!

probably not all the info you want, but could be a start...
Numbers of Animals Slaughtered for Food in US:

"Number of cows and calves slaughtered every 24 hours in the US: 90,000

Number of chickens slaughtered every minute in the US: 14,000

Food animals (not counting fish and other aquatic creatures) slaughtered per year in the US: 10 billion".

"Animals raised for food account for 95 percent of the ten billion animals that are killed in the US every year--about seventy five animals for the average family."

John Robbins website might have even more info...
