MAXIMUM SECURITY

Turkeys - Ducks

Internal wiring is not usually neccessary - they tend not to
pile up into corners etc.

Veranda

As described on the Poultry page.

Boundary 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 . With the addition of a trip wire approx 600mm/24" on the inside of the fence.  This is about the same height as second one up on main fence.  Typically, this line is supported on the same type of insulator but on shorter stakes at larger intervals.  It can then be adjusted up to suit the growing height of bird. It is a definite for 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.

Outdoor Pigs

Boundary Fence

Usually a 9 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 9 line system is usually adequate. 
A 12 line system can be used in high density fox areas. Once only a 16 line fence was used!  

(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

Because of the unique system used, this type of fence can be picked up and re-sited in another field.  When you move the pigs to a new site, the fence goes with you!
