Description
An interdisciplinary team studied the herding efficiency of electric fences as influenced by the operating principle. As a result of this work, an electric fence implement with direct discharge of capacitors was developed. This implement supplies fence wires, up to 40 km in length, with adequate current impulses. The demands on the herding efficiency of electric fences are increasing with the concentration of both crop production and animal production. As a result of the transition to industry-like methods of production, successfully accomplished by way of cooperation, in our socialist agriculture grazing herds consist of about 250 to 300 cows or up to 900 head of young cattle each.
