Turkeys & Ducks
Internal wiring is not usually neccessary - they tend not to pile up into corners etc
Secondary Fence
This is the same as for poultry. The main problem being that turkeys are a lot larger.
The multi-line fence has to operate at full
output from the outset, otherwise the birds will not display the same regard .
Because of size and weight of birds a secondry live trip wire needs to be erected. It only need to be done in areas of high density. It is put up on seperate stakes just within the main fence and made adjustable to grow in height with the turkeys
Division Fences
Can be made up of 50m electric nets or multi-line electric wire systems. Hard mesh wire can be used if flocks must not mix. This works well as long as the boundary is protected.
Boundary Fence
Standard 12 line fence, with the addition of a trip line!
Outdoor Pigs
Boundary Fence
Usually a 12 line electric fence is used around the perimeter of the field. This is to stop predators entering the entire field unit. It is not entirely necessary to do this as full grown pigs will see off most predators, however, it is a first line of defence.
Farrowing Area
This is where the electric fence is at its most important. A 12 line system is standard, but up to and including a 16 line fence has been done!!
(a new born piglet is a tasty meal, no feathers!!)
Paddocks
This is normally a two wire system and is driven separately from the fox fence. Usually these fences are erected by the owner in radial or traditional layout.
Moving Fence
With the unique Rappa system the fencline can be quickly and completely picked up.
So when you move the pigs the fence moves with you!!
