Traditionally the vast majority of manure production in Manitoba has been associated with rangeland cattle production. The increase in pork production and intensive cattle production in Mnaiotba has resulted in the production of more manure and a greater percentage of that manure in intensive livestock systems, where the manure is collected and spread one or two times throughout the year.
