Apparently, a pig sty isn't necessarily a building but is more usually an enclosure. Essentially it's a synonym for a pig pen. I always thought a pig sty was a building. OSM wiki thinks a pig sty is a building. It's not. Which complicates matters, at least to the extent that we'll probably have to accept that OSM uses sty to mean a building housing pigs and not an enclosure for pigs. Further complication: the buildings used to confine pigs in small stalls are piggeries (piggery has a few usages according to taginfo). Nederland has "varkensflats" ie multi-storey "appartment buildings" for > pigs. Wouldn't know a proper term for that in English though.

According to google translate, it's "pig flats," but I suspect it's being literal rather than giving the equivalent English term.
