Predator Resistant Fence Construction

The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) supports the growth and sustainability of the agriculture sector in Manitoba. The Livestock Predation Prevention Program (LPPP) is offered through Sustainable CAP. The objective of the LPPP is to accelerate adoption of non-lethal, on-farm measures that reduce the risk of livestock predation by wolves, coyotes, bears, and other predators. Funding is available for the construction of predator resistant fencing at calving areas, pastures, extending grazing areas, and deadstock compost sites. Reducing livestock predation promotes the co-existence of wildlife and livestock in agricultural regions of Manitoba.

Financial assistance is available for construction of the following fence types that reduce the risk of livestock predation:

• Predator Resistant Fence: deters predators from attacking livestock by fencing calving areas, pastures, and extended grazing areas.
• Dead Compost Pen: limits attraction of predators to farms by disposing of mortalities in a fenced deadstock compost area.
