Manitoba to Limit Hog Industry Expansion To Protect Province's Freshwater Resources

摘要

The Manitoba government will limit expansion of the Canadian province's hog industry as part of a three-part plan to protect freshwater resources, particularly Lake Winnipeg, Premier Greg Selinger said June 2. To keep hog manure out of the lake, the province will ban hog industry expansion that does not use advanced environmental practices, legislate a permanent ban on winter manure spreading, and double funding to support the industry's use of best environmental management practices, Selinger said in a statement.
