At the end of World War II, Ontario, and specifically the Toronto metro area experienced tremendous growth. Tens of thousands of immigrants from Europe flooded in to begin a new life, and with that expanded and experienced workforce, industrial manufacturing and retail commerce grew exponentially.
Animal husbandry. Animal husbandry is the management and care of farm animals by human beings, in which genetic qualities and behavior, considered to be advantageous to humans, are further developed. The term can refer to the practice of selectively breeding and raising livestock to promote desirable traits in animals for utility, sport, pleasure, or research.
Most animal manure consists of feces. Common forms of animal manure include farmyard manure (FYM) or farm slurry (liquid manure). FYM also contains plant material (often straw), which has been used as bedding for animals and has absorbed the feces and urine. Agricultural manure in liquid form, known as slurry, is produced by more intensive livestock rearing systems where concrete or slats are used, instead of straw bedding.
