SHEPHERD

Electric herders

Electric herders are devices used in agriculture and livestock farming to control and contain animals by emitting short-duration electric shocks to keep livestock from leaving the enclosure.

Invest in safety. Having an electric herder allows for effective and safe livestock management, as it is a secure barrier to keep livestock inside your facilities, preventing them from escaping and causing damage to crops or straying. It is also an excellent solution to prevent possible conflicts with neighboring farms or local authorities.

They adapt to different terrains, from small plots to large tracts of land. They are environmentally friendly, as well as a more reliable and humane option compared to other animal containment systems. And another crucial point is their effectiveness in training livestock. They help to teach animals the limits of their area, reducing stress and improving their overall behavior.

What is an electric shepherd

An electric shepherd is a very practical and efficient solution for the fencing and protection of animals or plants by means of high intensity and short duration electric shocks that prevent the entry or exit of animals.

This system has several significant advantages compared to other methods of animal containment and management:

• Containment efficiency: electric shocks serve as an effective deterrent to prevent animals from escaping or entering unwanted areas.
• Flexibility: allow for easy creation of temporary or mobile grazing areas without the need for permanent fencing.
• Lower initial cost: compared to the installation of traditional wire fences, electric herders are generally less expensive.
• Easy installation: they are easy to install and can be operational quickly, which saves time and effort compared to installing permanent fences.
• Mobile: they are portable and can be easily relocated according to grazing needs or changes in the design of the grazing area.
• Versatile: they can be used to control a variety of animals, including sheep, goats, cows, horses and poultry.
• Safe: the electrical discharges emitted are pulsed and low energy, causing discomfort but no permanent damage to the animals. They are designed to be safe and humane.
• Quick learning: animals quickly learn to avoid electrified areas.
• Low Maintenance: they require minimal maintenance and are easy to maintain compared to traditional fences.
• Adaptability: they can be adjusted to suit different weather conditions and grazing needs, allowing for greater flexibility in livestock management.
• Predator control: they are also effective in protecting herds from attack by predators such as foxes, for example.
• Damage prevention: they help prevent animals from damaging crops or other sensitive areas by maintaining adequate control over their movement.
