Virtual Fencing
Many of the projects dghconservation are involved with have now started using virtual fencing systems. The majority are with cows where controlled grazing is taking place in set compartments moving across a landscape that is being regenerated to improve the habitats using herbivores as the regenerator.
This has involved setting out areas, creating grazing plans and risk assessments, monitoring the moving of livestock as well as the behaviour of individuals and the herd as a whole.
Deliverables:
- Understanding the Clients' need for controlled grazing
- Providing grazing plans, risk assessments and fencing strategies
- Assisting in the training of animals to understand virtual fencing systems
- Setting up virtual fences and managing the required changes for targeted grazing
- Monitoring and managing data to determine grazing impact and behaviours
- Working with graziers to provide assistance for welfare and management
