The tag building=livestock can be used to tag a building that was built for housing  livestock.

The tag building:use=livestock can be used to tag buildings of other types which are used for housing livestock.

Use it when the more precise value (e.g. building=cowshed, building=stable, building=sty etc.) is not known (or keeps changing).

If even less information is known (i.e. it is only known that this farm building is not intended for human residence, but it is unknown if it is for example a barn or a building for livestock), then please use building=farm_auxiliary

How to map

Map the building as usual and tag it with building=barn. And then add any of the below tags e.g. building=livestock; livestock=turkeys.
