Livestock / Animal Husbandry
From a document describing the rearing of pigs in Portugal:
A autorização depende da prévia verificação das condições de produção, designadamente quanto aos seguintes aspectos e conforme o aplicável:
- dimensão de exploração, instalações e PARQUES DE MANEIO existentes
- natureza e estado sanitário do efectivo, maneio dos animais e condições de reposição do efectivo
Also wondering about "efectivo" here, is it referring to the pigs?

I think the efectivo is referring to the pigs.

Facilities and layout
Plan the layout of free range piggeries so that the groups of pigs can be rotated (younger pigs on ‘cleaner’ ground) through different paddocks easily and with minimum stress to both pigs and operators (e.g. paddocks surrounding a central handling area and connected by practical laneways, such as in a circular wheel pattern with hub, or a r ectangular pattern with central lane).
A stock handling facility (i.e. with a concrete floor and a crush) may be required for vaccinations, veterinary treatments, weighing, etc, as well as spare paddocks for sick pigs. Boar service paddocks may also be required.
