French term

atelier naisseur

French to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry livestock farming
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;


Is there a technical term for atelier naisseur in English? - I'm thinking along the lines of birthing unit at the moment (well I assume it's not the maternity suite!), but would appreciate confirmation or contradiction.

Many thanks

farrowing house

Sounds like where the sows are housed while giving birth, though usually called 'maternité' I think. Alternatively, farrowing pen or maternity pen, though that would be the specific 'pen' where they are, rather than the building.

Thanks. Yes, I do tend to use 'unit' these days - forgot to suggest it as an alternative!
