Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / livestock farming
French term or phrase: élevage porcin à lisier
Following on from my previous question:

This is not really my field at all, but has cropped up as part of an environmental impact dossier for a planning application. Building regulations for livestock farms are included in the submission documents.

Here's the context:

Sans préjudice de l'application des documents d'urbanisme existant dans la commune ou de cahiers des charges de lotissement, l’implantation des bâtiments renfermant des animaux doit respecter les règles suivantes :
sauf pour l'atelier naisseur où elle ne sera que de 50 mètres, les **élevages porcins à lisier** ne peuvent être implantés à une distance de moins de 100 mètres des immeubles habités ou habituellement occupés par des tiers, des zones de loisirs et de tout établissement recevant du public;

Any suggestions gratefully received. Does it just mean pig farms with liquid manure pits or it something more specific?

Many thanks.

sounds worse than it really is, already!
Explanation:
This makes it sound as if the animals are up to their hocks in it ...

It actually means "élevage sur caillebottis", or "floor slats", which is the EU-approved word for the things, at least as far as the manufacturers of concrete ones are concerned.

une récente étude montre que depuis quelques années, un nombre important de producteurs de porcs transforment leurs bâtiments pour passer de la litière (gestion solide) au lisier (gestion liquide). [ ...] En passant à un bâtiment sur lisier, il est possible d’augmenter le troupeau d’environ 70 %. Par exemple, pour un engraissement de 1000 places sur litière, il est possible d’élever 1721 porcs sur lisier sans agrandir le bâtiment, les planchers lattés permettant de densifier l’élevage[ ... ]
Habituellement, il est plus facile, sans trop casser de béton, de passer d’un bâtiment sous gestion solide à une gestion liquide que l’inverse. La construction du réservoir à lisier, l’ajout de lattes et de grattes, l’ajout de barrières et la main-d’oeuvre constitueront les principaux investissements.

grid


Explanation:
I believe that the lisier is a grid through which the slurry falls for subsequent disposal

agree  Bourth (X): "Grid" may well be said. "Floor slats" is the term I'm familiar with.

swine operation using a liquid manure/slurry system


Explanation:
not exactly as concise, but "lisier" is the liquid manure/slurry that needs to be managed

agree  MoiraB: or 'pig farms using...' in the context. 'Swine' is more N American usage.

agree  B D Finch: Full marks for the pig portrait at the bottom of the page of your reference! As the asker is in the UK, it should probably be "pig farm".
