Protect your livestock & crops against wild animals
Wild animals increasingly cause damage to livestock and crops. Deer and wild boar, for example, can do considerable damage to crops. Think of a pasture with maize where wild boar have flattened the maize plants. They can also transmit diseases to animals in the area.
Foxes pose a danger to lambs, young goats, chickens, geese, and piglets and can be seriously injured or even killed by this predator. To prevent damage to crops and animals, Gallagher recommends installing a fence around the pasture.
Various options for keeping out wildlife
You can make an existing fence wildlife-proof or opt for a completely new fence. An energiser with sufficient power is extremely important in all cases.
Making existing fences wildlife-proof
Adding extra wires to an existing fence can make it wildlife-proof. Wire spacing and wire heights are important here.
For example, a sheep net can easily be raised using the wolf upgrade kit. And attaching extra wires to a Line Post post also creates a wildlife-resistant fence.
Installing a new wildlife fence
If the existing fence is outdated, it is wise to install a new wildlife-proof fence. After all, game can only be kept out if the fence is in perfect condition and has sufficient power.
Gallagher also has special wolf nets in its range, which are higher than sheep nets.
Double fence for a wildlife-free meadow
It is also possible to place an additional fence around existing pastures, where there should be one metre distance between the existing fence and the new outer fence. As wildlife does not see depth, it will jump over the outer fence.
Since there is only one metre between the two fences, the animal cannot get over the second fence. There is simply too little space to make a big jump. This prevents the animal from entering the inner fence.
