Setting up a pig farm
The text is about setting up a pig farm, it is written by a veterinarian. Does this just mean once the sow has been impregnated or is there another meaning? The word "encamisar" also appears subsequently, but is stand-alone, in a table. The other option I came up with was "confined"
Full sentence:
Así, se reduce a la mitad el tiempo de adaptación entre **el encamisado de la cerda** y el parto, lo que permite ceder la otra mitad de ese tiempo a la camada, desde que nace hasta el destete

farrowing cage or crate
Giuliana explained it really well. They call these kinds of cages farrowing crates or farrowing cages in English, at least here in the USA. There may be another term in the UK; I don't know. Google it and you'll find lots of pictures.

: https://www.viva.org.uk/pigs/farrowing-crate-fact-sheet (I think you are right and appears to be the same term used in the UK. However, the method seems almost barbaric, at the very least, this article's tone is quite negative, IMO).

I definitely agree that the method is controversial to say the very least and am personally in favor of more sustainable practices.

Comment: "Thanks, I think we call them stalls, which is less pejorative than crate or cage. I know they are illegal, but this article comes from South America I think."
Discussion
"Sow stalls are illegal in Sweden and the UK. Their use is limited in the EU, with a partial ban enforced from 2013. However..."

También llamadas camisas de parto, son jaulas de tubo metalico en donde permanecen las cerdas enclaustradas desde 2 días previos al parto hasta 8 días después del parto o hasta al destete.

encamisar = enjaular
