pig farms

Hog raising facilities

Pig farms are agricultural operations where pigs are raised for meat production.

The term often carries connotations of industrial-scale facilities with concentrated animal populations, as opposed to smaller family farms: The smell from the pig farms carried for miles.

Environmental concerns about waste management have made pig farms controversial in many rural communities.
