hog farms

Porcine agricultural facilities

Hog farms are agricultural operations that raise pigs for meat production.

The term often carries negative connotations, suggesting industrial-scale facilities with environmental concerns—waste runoff, odor, and animal welfare issues: Residents protested the new hog farm proposed for their county.

Smaller operations may be called pig farms instead.
