laiton

English translation: suckling (pig)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:laiton
English translation:suckling (pig)
Entered by: Philip Taylor

French to English translations [PRO]
Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Pig farming
French term or phrase: laiton
This may be a typo, as the term is not found in any of my usual sources, but if so it seems to be a fairly common one, as used in the example below.

Les prix de vente des laitons par les NVS, enregistrés en GTE, sont très proches des prix indexés. Ce constat semble moins vrai pour les ventes de porcelets de 25 kg, qui sont davantage négociés sur le marché que les laitons.

Many thanks in advance for any help...

agree  Cetacea: with "suckling pig" or "suckler". And it's not a typo, but a common term. See e.g. http://dico-sciences-animales.cirad.fr/liste-mots.php?fiche=...
