I saw The Loom for the first time a few weeks ago - much of it is shot from fixed vantage points looking into a chicken pen (the image becomes layered - other barnyard animals enter - painted images are superimposed, as are flames, if memory serves). Perhaps others can correct me if my description here is inaccurate; but I think it fits very well with what Heath is asking after, as a film of animal agricultural.
I'd also recommend Richard Kerr's Hawkesville to Wallenstein, a film of Amish farmers in Waterloo County in Canada.

Robbie Land's Matters of Bioluminessence has a section depicting growth of mushrooms/fungi. Animals: lots of Brakhage. I haven't seen The Loom (1986), but by description it may qualify - depending on how strict a definition of agriculture you have in mind. I once saw a Ben van Meter film - I think it was made later than the 60s work for which he's best known - about a chicken farmer on LSD.

A few examples might be Marjorie Keller's Answering Furrow or Lucien Castaing-Taylor's Sweetgrass.
