: Would apply if there is no need to imply a size difference between the two (sty and pigsty).

porcherie de ferme/porcherie industrielle
En français, il ne semble pas y avoir dedistinctions entre Sty et Pigsty, porcheries. Voir Termium.

Johanne Benoit-Gallagher
: I agree with this suggestion. There is a distinction to make between sty and pigsty that relate to the size of the place and the number of pigs. This descriptive term is best in my opinion.

enclos à cochons et porcherie
il n'y a aucune différence de sens entre sty et pigsty.
Mais les deux peuvent vouloir dire pig pen (l'enclos) et "stable for pigs" (porcherie).
Je ferais cette différence-là: enclos = grande exploitation, tout en sachant qu'elle est parfaitement arbitraire.

: There is a difference, albeit very subtle: pigsty = soue, sty (as the name for a larger building) = porcherie / Round here (a major pig region!), soue = small individual pigsty for one or two pigs / porcherie = bigger building for several animals.

there is no way a "porcherie" means "porcherie industrielle"in French. I comme from a tiny farming village where many farms had a "porcherie" for the one pig. Check http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/porcherie that says "porcherie, SYN soue".
