Cattle Responses to a Type of Virtual Fence
Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2015 Interest in developing more flexible fencing technology to improve pasture and rangeland management is increasing. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of a newvirtual fencing product and measure impact on behavior, thus potentially allowing positive development of virtual fence systems. The Boviguard (Agrifence, Henderson Products Ltd.,

Spatial Distribution and Hierarchical Behaviour of Cattle Using a Virtual Fence System [PDF]
AnimalsInterest in virtual fencing has increased due to its flexibility for agriculture and rewilding. However, systems like Nofence© require large financial investments, and the need for individual collars complicates large-scale use.

The ability of ewes with lambs to learn a virtual fencing system
Animal, 2017 The Nofence technology is a GPS-based virtual fencing system designed to keep sheep within predefined borders, without using physical fences. Sheep wearing a Nofence collar receive a sound signal when crossing the virtual border and a weak electric shock

107 Use of virtual fences to co-fence two groups of cattle with a shared virtual boundary [PDF]
J Anim SciAbstract Virtual fencing (VF) provides cattle producers with an opportunity to manage grazing more intensively without the need to build physical fences. Cattle are fitted with GPS equipped collars and are kept within producer determined boundaries through the use of audio and electric stimuli.

Stress indicators in dairy cows adapting to virtual fencing. [PDF]
J Anim SciAbstract Virtual fencing (VF) enables livestock grazing without physical fences by conditioning animals to a virtual boundary delimited with an audio tone (AT) and an electric pulse (EP). The present study followed the adaptation process of lactating dairy cows to a VF system with changing virtual boundaries and investigated its impact ...
