Electrograzing: What is it and what is it for?
Electrograzing: The innovative solution for livestock management and crop protection
Electrograzing is one of the most advanced and innovative technologies in the field of agriculture and livestock farming. This solution not only facilitates the management of livestock but also offers an efficient method of protecting crops from wild animals. In this article we will explain what electrograzing is, how it works and its specific benefits for wild boar management and use in electric fencing. You will also find our range of products suitable for all your needs.
What is electrograzing?
Electrograzing is a system that uses electric fencing to manage the movement of livestock and protect crops from wild animals. This method relies on the use of low voltage electrical wires that, when touched by animals, emit a mild electric shock. This shock is not harmful, but is enough to discourage the animal from attempting to cross the fence.
Electrograzing is used in various agricultural contexts, from pasture management to crop protection from damage caused by animals such as wild boars. This system is appreciated for its effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and ease of installation and maintenance.
How does electrograzing work?
The operating principle of the electrograzing is relatively simple. The system is composed of three main components: the pulse generator (or energizer), the electric wires and the support poles.
Pulse Generator : This device, powered by a battery or connected to the mains, generates intermittent electrical pulses. The voltage of these pulses is high enough to be perceived by animals, but is not dangerous.
Electric Wires : The wires, connected to the pulse generator, are positioned along the perimeter of the area you want to protect or delimit. They can be made of various materials, such as steel or polyethylene, and are chosen based on the specific needs of the place and the type of animal to be contained or excluded.
Support Posts : Posts, usually made of wood, plastic or metal, support the electrical wires. They are installed at regular intervals along the perimeter of the fence.
When an animal touches the electrical wire, the circuit closes, allowing the current to pass through the animal's body to the ground, causing a mild shock. This negative experience discourages the animal from attempting to cross the fence again.
Electrograzing to solve the wild boar problem
Wild boars are known to cause significant damage to crops and farmland. They are intelligent and determined animals, capable of overcoming traditional fences with relative ease. Electrograzing offers an effective solution to control wild boar movements and protect crops.
For wild boar electrograzing, it is recommended to use electric wires positioned at different heights to ensure that every part of the animal's body can come into contact with the wire. Typically, the wires are positioned at 20, 50 and 80 cm from the ground. Furthermore, it is important to keep the tension of the wires constant and ensure that the system is well connected to the ground to ensure maximum deterrent effect.
A crucial aspect of wild boar electropasture is regular maintenance of the system. Frequently checking that the wires are intact and that the pulse generator is working properly is essential to maintaining the effectiveness of the fence. In addition, vegetation growing around the electric wires must be kept under control, as it can cause current leakage and reduce the effectiveness of the electric shock.
Electrograzing for livestock
Electrograzing is also widely used in electric fencing for livestock, such as cattle, sheep and goats. Electric fencing not only prevents livestock from wandering off, but also allows for optimal management of grazing rotations, promoting uniform grass growth and improving soil health.
Electric fences can be temporary or permanent. Temporary fences are ideal for rotational grazing and can be easily moved. Permanent fences, on the other hand, are built to last and require minimal maintenance.
A significant advantage of electric fencing is its flexibility. It can be used to create subdivisions within a large pasture, allowing for more efficient management of forage resources. Additionally, electric fencing is less expensive and easier to install than traditional wooden or metal fencing.
