[Pour les élevages en bâtiments sur caillebotis], les animaux sont élevés à l'intérieur de bâtiments. Le sol de ces bâtiments est constitué d'un sol ajouré nommé caillebotis qui permet d'évacuer les déjections des animaux (urine plus excrément dont le mélange est appelé lisier) dans des fosses situées dans la partie basse de ces bâtiments. Les déjections suivent ensuite un circuit par gravité jusque dans des grandes cuves de stockage appelées fosses à lisier. 2, record 1, French, - fosse%20%C3%A0%20lisier
