Environmental Livestock Program


Welcome to Manitoba Conservation's Environmental Livestock Program

The purpose of this program is to administer the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation (Amendment). A team, including Environment Officers and Environmental Engineers, has been established for this purpose.  Team members are regionally based to provide local coverage, and centrally coordinated to ensure consistent delivery of the program.  Primary responsibilities include investigation of complaints, annual inspection of permitted manure storage facilities, inspection of manure storage facilities undergoing construction / modification / expansion, and enforcement of regulations on management of manure and mortalities.
