A pilot study: Training cattle to virtual fence management in groups

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: • In a production setting, the accuracy of virtual fence (VF) collars is crucial, particularly when dealing with small-scale pastures or making precise management decisions. • Without a clear understanding of the accuracy associated with VF collars, some intended uses may be limited, or inadvertent problems may be created. • With a better understanding of a VF collar's accuracy, users can design and implement more effective VFs into their production system. • The initial introduction of animals to VF plays a crucial role in training and influences the success of implementing future VF scenarios.
