Possibilities for Examination of Electric Shepherds
Authors: ,
Abstract: This article discusses the benefits of pastoral livestock production. It defines the need for the construction of separate areas for the keeping of free-ranging livestock. The benefits of enclosing grazing livestock through the construction of electropastures are discussed, as well as possible problems in their operation, such as breakage. As a consequence of the interruption, the electric shepherd does not provide a controlled grazing environment, allowing other animals to enter, or the current ones to leave the enclosed area. Electropasturing provides animals with the best terrain from the pasture through plot grazing. Opportunities to survey electric shepherds and their integrity are analyzed for proper functioning. A new method allowing localization for the exact location of the electric shepherd's break is discussed.
