Gallagher Electric Fence From the Home to the Range
September 9th, 2009
Posted by Liam Shaw
How electric fencing works
An electric fence is a psychological barrier that keeps farm animals in and wild animals out
- even over long distances.
A pulsed electric current is sent along the fence wire, about one pulse per second,
from an energizer which is grounded. When the animal touches the fence it completes
the circuit between the fence and the ground and receives a short, sharp but safe shock.
The shock is sufficiently memorable that the animal never forgets.
Because the electric fence is a psychological barrier, it does not require great strength
to be effective. However, it must be well designed and constructed to absorb some pressure
from animals, snow and wind. The energizer must have enough power for the length of the fence
and for the animals being controlled.
Uses and benefits
Animal control is perhaps the most widely recognized reason for power fencing.
Not only does power fencing keep domestic animals and livestock contained,
it has various other important uses, including:
- Keeping wild animals out
- Separating different groups of animals
- Allowing rationing of crops and pasture
- Fencing animals off from eroding areas, trees, rivers and roads
Power fencing has revolutionized pasture management techniques and better pasture management means better profitability for farmers. Permanent or portable power fences are used to subdivide pasture to ensure even distribution of manure over grazing areas. In this way, pastures are kept fresh, short and palatable which ultimately leads to increased milk and meat production. If you are interested in finding out more about pasture management techniques.
Other key benefits of power fencing:
- Affordable
- Easily constructed and maintained
- Durable, because of low physical contact
- Light weight and easily transported
- Easily modified
- Less animal hide and pelt damage
- Deterrent to trespassers and predators
For convenient, economical animal control, improved pasture management and more profitable farming,
a Gallagher Power Fence System is the trusted solution.
