Manitoba has proposed new manure phosphorus regulations. This study investigates the additional annual costs for the industry to comply with these new regulations. Using complex economic modeling and functions the researchers have concluded that managers will have to make changes in conventional manure management techniques. From the modeling it is determined that at a regulation of 2x phosphorus removal, it will collectively cost producers 17.88 million dollars, which is 18% of the estimated annual income for 2005, and a 1x phosphorus removal will cost 27.86 million dollars, which is about 28% of the estimated annual income for 2005.
