Appendix V: Good management practices for intensive poultry
farming
This appendix has been included in the plan for
guidance to the poultry industry, and for general public
information and education purposes. The information
contained in this appendix provides general guidance
on the range of options for preventing or minimising
adverse effects on the environment from emissions
the Company’s DWI activities were being carried out in
compliance with the conditions of the applicable resource consents. There is no evidence of

accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no
adverse effects of the activity at monitored locations. Inspections undertaken during the
monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional manner and

rarely occupy a large percentage of
paddock area. They often remain on parts
where stock don’t graze much, on account
of steep contour or difficult access. So
fencing trees off may make little difference
to the length of time that stock can be
grazed in a paddock. A fence may actually
make grazing management easier,
excluding stock from parts that are difficult
to muster, and concentrating them where
pasture growth is greater, but perhaps not
