"Factory farm" is seen as derogatory, according to the people who operate
factory farms.  They prefer AFO (animal feeding operation) or CAFO
(concentrated
AFO) or ILO (intensive livestock operation) or CFO (confined feeding
operation).

Note that these terms don't just apply to industrial buildings with animals
crowded together.  They also apply to intensive outdoor feeding, known
as feedlots in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedlot
