The Manitoba government is looking for feedback on proposed changes to the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation (LMMMR).
 
The hope is to reduce unfair regulatory barriers and to streamline processes to protect the environment and remove duplication within legislation and regulation.
 
The changes are expected to help facilitate growth of the livestock industry and its contribution to economic growth and employment opportunities in Manitoba.
 
Manitoba Sustainable Development will be accepting written submissions until May 12th, 2017.

The purpose of the Profitable Pasture conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management.
