mestbedrijf
Explanation:
This would be the generic term to refer to farms of this type. See for instance http://tinyurl.com/gvshm8p.

Idem, a compound like 'pig fattening farm' would translate as 'varkensmestbedrijf' or 'varkensmesterij'. Note, however, that the latter term is more ambiguous as it can also be used to refer to the activity/industry as such.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: De term 'vetmesterij' verwijst doorgaans naar de activiteit/sector als zodanig en niet naar afzonderlijke bedrijven binnen de sector. Een samenstelling zoals 'varkensmesterij' kan in beide betekenissen worden gebruikt. Mijn voorkeur zou zijn: mestbedrijf.
