    Selecting a Site for Livestock and Poultry Operations

    Donald Pfost and, Charles Fulhage (January, 2009)
    Summary

    The first factor to consider in selecting a site for an animal feeding operation is state and local permitting requirements and ordinances. Consult local health and regulatory authorities and have all plans approved before constructing any manure handling system. Contact the Technical Assistance Program (TAP) at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources at 800-361-4TAP for information regarding permits. For assistance in planning manure management systems, see your local MU Extension center or the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Consider seeking professional assistance for selection of a site for an animal feeding operation.
