<p><font face="Verdana">Correct, seems to be that sty is used only
for pigs, looked it up in the dictionary, sorry for the
confusion. English seems to have a specific word for the
housing of every different kind of animal.<br>
Did some searching on agricultural sites and a common term seems
to be "confinement" for the building or "animal feeding
operation" abbreviated as AFO for the facility.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">"</font><font face="Verdana">Sustainable
food advocates often call these operations <i>factory farms</i>,
while people in rural areas where they are common call them <i>confinements</i>."</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">"</font>Industrial livestock production has
become so far removed from the natural cycle of farming that laws
and regulations no longer refer to these operations as farms, but
<i>animal feeding operations</i>, or AFOs. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) regulates AFOs, defined as “agricultural
operations where animals are kept and raised in confined
situations.” <span id="easy-footnote-2-447"

<p>The definition continues:</p>
<p>An AFO is a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal
production facility) where the following conditions are met:</p>
<ul>
<li>animals have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed
or maintained for a total of 45 days or more in any 12-month
period, and</li>
<li>crops, vegetation, forage growth or post-harvest residues are
not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of
the lot or facility. <span id="easy-footnote-3-447"

</ul>
<p>A concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) is a very large
AFO, housing “more than 1000 animal units (an animal unit is
defined as an animal equivalent of 1000 pounds live weight and
equates to 1000 head of beef cattle, 700 dairy cows, 2500 swine
weighing more than 55 pounds, 125 thousand broiler chickens or 82
thousand laying hens or pullets).” <span id="easy-footnote-4-447"

data-hasqtip="3" title="" aria-describedby="qtip-3"><sup>4</sup></a></span> Additionally,
“any size AFO that discharges manure or wastewater into a natural
or man-made ditch, stream or other waterway”rather than spraying
the waste indirectly on fields, is defined as a CAFO. <span

<p>Cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys are the most common livestock
raised in confinement operations; but other types of poultry, as
well as sheep, goats and rabbits, are also being raised more and
more this way."</p>
<p>Both from <a
href="https://foodprint.org/issues/raising-animals-industrial-system/">https://foodprint.org/issues/raising-animals-industrial-system/</a>.</p>
<p>So building=confinement + new or industrial landuse tag since
they are no longer called farms, landuse=animal_feeding_operation
? Or landuse=industrial + man_made=animal_feeding_operation ?<br>
We once had landuse=livestock deprecated in favour of
landuse=farmyard. Personally I like landuse=farmyard +
man_made=animal_feeding_operation., keeps it more related to
agricultural activity then pure industrial and often it's hard to
determine the difference by just looking at the facility.<br>
</p>
<p>The facility also contains other structures like lagoons or
underground reservoirs for manure, silos to store the feed, and
might even have barns and sheds for equipment or other animals.
Pens (where some animals can walk outside the confinement building
are also common, not sure if they ar always called pens but seems
most common. <br>
For these we could use man_made=silo and man_made=bunker_silo
together with content=*.<br>
A new landuse=pen or just man_made=pen ? I prefer the man_made.<br>
</p>
<p>What about the lagoons or basements for manure storage, I
couldn't immediately find a suitable tag for them. Landuse=basin +
basin=manure seems the most suitable ?</p>
<p>----</p>
<p>I wouldn't use a new key like livestock. Please read the
disambiguation for produce and product on <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:produce#Produce_or_Product.2C_disambiguation">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:produce#Produce_or_Product.2C_disambiguation</a>.
So product=* with values describing the live animals seems to fit
well like product=cattle or beef cattle, product=hogs,
product=chicken or broiler chicken and also product=eggs etc...</p>

I know the name of these buildings in Portuguese, but I
have no clue about their name in English to use it in OSM
tags.<br>
In a quick search I found references to "pig sheds" and
"poultry sheds".<br>

<div>As Joseph has already remarked, that would be "pig sty"
and "chicken coop."</div>
<div>Except the last time pigs were discussed it was pointed
out that a pig sty is</div>
<div>an open-air area, not a building, so "pig shed" is
probably correct. However...<br>

<div>Pig shed and chicken coop are better, but I'm not sure
they are correct.</div>
<div>To my mind, pig sheds and chicken coops are relatively
small buildings,</div>
<div>not big meat factories. It is the names used in the
agricultural industry</div>
<div>for those large-scale operations that I'm unsure of.
Maybe</div>
<div> building=factory is the way to go, relying on other tags
to indicate</div>
<div>what they produce.</div>
