nursery phase

unité de naissage = nursery unit
http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:xyCy9R5CaqIJ:www.statca...

nursery operation, nursery phase, nursery unit - depending on your larger context.
Note from asker:
Thanks, but I think Bourth has a more accurate translation.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Bourth (X) : In the text you quote "nursery=nourricerie" (post-weaning) and "unité de naissage=farrowing unit" (birth and suckling). Frightening, isn't it, the way we raise meatstock!

you're right on both counts - I was too hasty, and in fact, swine operations are so awful, you don't even want to go there.
neutral B D Finch : Some of us deal with the problem by not eating meat. Trouble is that fish farming and fisheries in general are also not pleasant, so please pass the lentils.

agree joobie : the nursery stage is a specialization of pig farming. It concernes the delicate job of breeding, there are no swines! only breeding sows and suckling pigglets. Finalement c'est assez mignon
