Electric shepherd – an assistant for walking your animals
Just 10 years ago, livestock grazing was done by special people or animal owners. They had to monitor the livestock for several hours so that it did not go beyond its pasture. Today, this method is practically not used, since an electric shepherd can be used to control goats, horses, and cows.
A modern electric shepherd is an effective solution for keeping livestock, poultry, and pets in safe conditions. Using an electric fence allows you to keep animals and birds within certain limits, preventing wild animals from approaching them. You can purchase a quality electric shepherd device at a reasonable price in the VADA online store. We offer various models of electric shepherds from proven developers.
How does the equipment work?
An electric shepherd is a special electric fence designed for grazing poultry, goats, pigs, horses, and cows in a limited area. The equipment is used to effectively protect land, roads, and fish ponds from wild animals. Thanks to the electric shepherd, livestock do not trample the grass and do not harm the farm or household.
The electric shepherd system consists of several components:
- a pulse generator;
- conductors (wire, tape, or cable);
- insulators;
- grounding;
- posts;
- connectors;
- charger;
- gates.
The device delivers short electrical pulses that do not harm animals that want to approach the fence and cross it. Thanks to such safe pulses, unpleasant sensations are created, which teach livestock not to approach the fence. Within a few days of using the electric shepherd, the animals get used to the limited space and the possibility of unpleasant sensations when contacting the fence, so they reduce contact with it to a minimum. This helps to safely limit the pasture area, protect animals from wild animals and minimize the need for constant human supervision over them.
Types of electric fences
Electric fences are divided into varieties based on their purpose and power supply. The equipment generator can receive the necessary power from 5 sources:
- built-in battery (6V);
- mains (220V);
- car battery (12V);
- regular batteries (1.5V, 4 pieces);
- solar panel.
The most popular models are electric fences with a built-in battery that requires periodic recharging. This design does not depend on the availability of sockets, so they can be moved to any place. The equipment needs to be charged once every few weeks.
Another way to classify electric fences is by the type of animals that will be grazed using this device. According to this criterion, the electric fence is divided into several main types:
Electric fence for cows
For grazing such animals, it is necessary to use a fence with a height of up to 110 centimeters to ensure the safety of cattle and prevent their escape. The electric fence for cows has the following features:
- a strong wire (tape) is used;
- a more powerful pulse generator is included;
- reliable racks and insulators are used.
You can buy an electric fence for grazing cows at an affordable price in the VADA online store. We guarantee excellent quality and efficiency of the equipment.
Electric shepherd for sheep
Electric shepherd for sheep is equipped with a generator of more powerful pulses. This feature of the equipment is due to the fact that sheep have thick wool and require more effective action. The features of the electric fence for these animals are:
- use of multi-core cable (mesh);
- correct height of the fence taking into account the dimensions of the sheep;
- reliable protection from wild animals.
You can order an electric shepherd for this type of animal on our website online or by contacting the managers of the online store in any way convenient for you.
Electric fence for goats
Goats are considered one of the most active and inquisitive animals. That is why a very reliable electric fence is needed for their grazing. Electric fence for goats has the following features and advantages:
- use of multi-row wire (tape);
- a reinforced pulse generator is included;
- the presence of stable and high supports.
The correct choice of electric fence, taking into account the characteristics of the animals, will allow to increase the efficiency of its use and achieve the necessary goals.
Electric fence for pigs
Electric fence for pigs should be installed at a lower height, as this allows for more effective control of animal behavior. The main features of this device are:
- placement of wires closer to the ground;
- adapted pulse power to the characteristics of pig skin;
- high wear resistance of the materials used.
Thanks to this, the electric fence will effectively perform the tasks set.
Electric fence for chickens
Poultry is very vulnerable to predators, so the electric fence should not only keep them within the pasture, but also protect them from external threats. The electric fence for chickens, geese, turkeys is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- use of an electric grid (tape);
- the generator provides safe impulses that do not harm the birds in any way;
- ease of installation;
- the ability to move freely to any place.
You can purchase a high-quality electric fence for poultry in the VADA online store at affordable prices.
How to choose an electric fence?
Choosing an electric fence for a household or farm requires special attention. We recommend paying attention to:
- type and size of animals, birds;
- length of the fence and materials from which it is made;
- power of the pulse generator;
- power source (built-in battery, solar panels, mains).
The right choice of electric fence for animals and birds will allow you to organize a pasture and effectively protect them from external dangers.
