Melukarttelu

Melukarttelu is a Finnish term that translates to "pigsty" or "pigpen." It refers to a structure or enclosure designed for keeping pigs. Historically, melukarttelu were often simple, open-sided shelters with a solid floor, typically made of wood or stone. They were built to protect the animals from the elements and to contain them.

Modern melukarttelu are often more sophisticated and may be enclosed buildings with specialized features for ventilation, sanitation, and animal welfare. The design and construction of a melukarttelu can vary greatly depending on the scale of the operation, the climate, and the specific needs of the pigs being raised. In some contexts, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe a very messy or disorganized place.
