…versus weaner pens, where the sow is 'weaning' the litter after birth. After the piglets are weaned, they are moved to the finishing shed (a type of grower shed) for growth before slaughter.

母猪 belong in Weaner Pens,
生猪 belong in Grower Sheds.
Therefore,
the Grower Sheds (Pigs) are restocked, and NOT the Weaner Pens (the gilts/sows).
Dear all: Thank you very much for your inputs, all of which contributed a lot to my understanding of the term. I wish I could grant 4 points to all of you. Thanks a million.

Explanation: Here 生猪存栏 is contrasted against 母猪的存栏, so they must be referring to piglet sheds vs sow pens. There are two kinds of piglet pen (in Australia anyway):
Weaner pens- containing piglets just weaned off mother's milk
Finisher pens- containing rapidly growing juveniles
Areas housing pregnant sows are called dry sow pens. There are also special birthing areas, known as farrowing pens.
Here 存栏 could mean pen or shed, depending on the scale.
Language variant: replenishment of hog supply (to the market & not the hog farm)
Explanation: As far as I know, breeders does not buy piglets, they buy young female pig (gilts), allow them to multiply with boars when the time is right. They would retain the female pigs while they are still very productive, otherwise, they will be slaughtered. Hence, in the industry, they call 母猪补栏 gilt replenishment.
