Livestock Waste Control Scheme Indiscriminate discharge of livestock waste has caused severe pollution in the watercourses in the New Territories. To combat the pollution problem, we introduced the Livestock Waste Control Scheme in 1987 and amended it in 1994. Legislative controls are now provided by the Waste Disposal Ordinance and the Public Health (Animals and Birds) Ordinance. For details, please refer to the following guide books:- A Guide to the Livestock Waste Control Scheme Code of Practice - Livestock Waste Management Guidelines for Free-range Poultry Keeping Guidelines on Litter Bedding Method Guidelines for Dry Muck Out Guidelines for Soakaway System Guidelines for Wet Muck Out [Image of quidebooks] [Link to Enquiry]
