Project description

The main objective is to change the current physical or electrical fencing for a virtual fencing. This change allows the management of extensive grazing in beef cattle through the development of a collar for cattle with several functions: geolocation and interaction with the animal through different stimuli.

Goals

The general objective of the HesIA project is the optimization of extensive livestock farming. With this technology, grazing in extensive areas can be optimized.

Specifically, virtual fencing allows a pasture area to be delimited and the livestock to remain in it in a controlled manner under the remote supervision of the farmer, all without the need for physical or electrical fencing.
