Lattenroste

should cover both; as was explained, these "tanks" are open, and the effluent collects in large lagoons stinking up entire areas (in Illinois, they are just starting to crack down on these) and, what's worse, polluting the rivers.
I don't think there's an equivalent; cows are kept mostly outside here; they come in for milking/feeding (and possibly, producing waste, of course)
Peer comment(s):

agree TService (X) : "Tanks mit Lattenrost-Abdeckungen" would be it, but does not cover the second term, that should read "Lattenverschläge".

agree Steffen Pollex (X) : Dann nimm doch einmal Lattenroste uns einmal Holzverschläge. Das müßte es doch sein.

Auch wieder ziemlich nebulös

What is the main animal waste storage facility? - Slatted tanks.

Hier wohl "Holzkübel" oder sowas, in denen die Tierkadaver aufbewahrt werden. Aber das klingt so wenig eindeutig, da würde ich nachfragen, um mich nicht in die nessseln zu setzen.

What is the main overwintering facility in use on the farm? - slats

Hier sind "slats" wahrscheinlich "Holzverschläge", "Holzställe", in denen die Tiere überwintern.

Peer comment(s):

neutral yeswhere : animal waste here means manure and slatted tanks are usually built into the floor of animal enclosures, so that waste falls through. Perhaps you could come up with the German equivalent

Dann stimmt Teresas Vorschlag "Lattenroste".
