  • Containing cattle with a virtual fence (VF) has gained considerable attention. VF technology uses auditory and electric stimuli to contain or exclude cattle from predetermined areas, which has raised concerns over cattle welfare.
  • We evaluated blood markers associated with stress and inflammatory response when naive cattle were fitted with VF collars.
  • We detected no major changes in blood markers. Cattle were able to quickly identify and adapt to VF boundaries and over time reduce the number of stimuli.
  • Our results indicate VF technology can contain cattle within a pre-established boundary and does not negatively impact cattle welfare.
•用虚拟围栏(VF)圈养牛已经引起了相当大的关注。VF技术使用听觉和电刺激来控制或排除牛进入预定区域,这引起了对牛福利的担忧。•我们评估了在幼年牛佩戴VF项圈时与应激和炎症反应相关的血液标志物。•我们未检测到血液标志物的重大变化。牛能够快速识别和适应VF边界,并随着时间的推移减少刺激的数量。•我们的研究结果表明,VF技术可以将牛控制在预先建立的边界内,并且不会对牛的福利产生负面影响。

  • The emergence of virtual fence (VF) as a precision livestock technology presents an opportunity to move beyond physical fences and alter grazing distribution over expansive arid and semi-arid rangelands.
  • VF can be used to gather and move livestock through a grazing rotation by using passive capture techniques, which enhance predictability and reliability in rotation management.
  • VF can effectively influence livestock distribution by dividing large, expansive pastures into smaller sub-pastures and help reduce livestock access to riparian ecosystems.
  • Although preliminary results suggest VF has promise as a dynamic grazing-management tool, more controlled research in the desert Southwest is needed to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the system.
•虚拟围栏(VF)作为一种精确畜牧业技术的出现,提供了超越物理围栏的机会,改变了广阔的干旱和半干旱牧场的放牧分布。•VF可用于通过使用被动捕获技术通过轮牧收集和移动牲畜,从而提高轮牧管理的可预测性和可靠性。•VF可以有效地影响牲畜分布,将大型、广阔的牧场划分为较小的子牧场,并有助于减少牲畜进入河岸生态系统的机会。•尽管初步结果表明VF有望成为一种动态放牧管理工具,但需要在西南沙漠进行更多的受控研究,以更好地了解该系统的优缺点。

  • Virtual fence (VF) technology is rapidly developing and being adopted, but many ranchers and consumers have questions about its effect on the welfare of range beef cattle.
  • We conducted two studies using either VF collars or conventional electric fencing to rotationally graze beef cattle. We measured several common physiological and behavioral indicators of stress and correlated these indicators with the number of electric stimuli received from the VF collars.
  • Physiological and behavioral indicators of stress were not different between cattle rotated within the two types of fencing. No correlations were evident between the number of electrical stimuli received and stress indicators. From the perspective of cattle welfare, we concluded that continued development and use of VF is warranted.
•虚拟围栏(VF)技术正在迅速发展并被采用,但许多牧场主和消费者对其对牧场肉牛福利的影响存在疑问。•我们进行了两项研究,使用VF项圈或传统电围栏轮流放牧肉牛。我们测量了几种常见的应激生理和行为指标,并将这些指标与从VF项圈接收的电刺激次数相关联。•在两种围栏内轮换的牛的生理和行为指标没有差异。受电刺激次数与应激指标之间无明显相关性。从牛福利的角度来看,我们认为继续开发和利用VF是有必要的。

  • 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.
•在生产环境中,虚拟围栏(VF)项圈的准确性至关重要,特别是在处理小规模牧场或做出精确管理决策时。•如果不清楚VF环的准确性,一些预期用途可能会受到限制,或者可能会产生无意的问题。通过更好地了解VF接箍的精度,用户可以在生产系统中设计和实施更有效的VF。•最初将动物引入VF在训练中起着至关重要的作用,并影响到未来实施VF方案的成功。

  • Virtual fencing (VF) is a recent development in agriculture technology with a high potential to improve management outcomes on public and private grazing lands. Adoption is expected to accelerate as the technology improves in providing safe and effective management capabilities for diverse operating contexts.
  • Although the applications of VF are numerous, it is not a silver bullet to solve grazing management issues and is not always beneficial for farm and ranch operations.
  • We reflect on the operational characteristics that tend to lead to successful VF deployment based on direct experience using VF on working ranches in the United States over the last three years.
  • We provide a set of questions and considerations and a decision tree to help producers determine their suitability for adopting and benefiting from VF as well as highlight when producers may need to adapt to realize the full potential of VF. These questions also elucidate when producers may be better served to look to other management approaches or tools rather than investing in VF at this time.
  • Our goal is to provide realistic expectations of what VF can and cannot do and help producers be well prepared and succeed with deploying and using VF.
•虚拟围栏(VF)是农业技术的最新发展,具有很大的潜力,可以改善公共和私人牧场的管理成果。随着技术的进步,为不同的操作环境提供安全有效的管理能力,预计采用速度将加快。•尽管VF的应用非常广泛,但它并不是解决放牧管理问题的灵丹妙药,也并不总是对农场和牧场经营有益。•根据过去三年在美国牧场使用VF的直接经验,我们反思了导致VF成功部署的操作特征。•我们提供了一系列问题、考虑因素和决策树,以帮助生产商确定他们是否适合采用VF并从中受益,同时也强调了生产商何时需要适应以充分发挥VF的潜力。这些问题也说明了,在什么情况下,生产商可以更好地寻求其他管理方法或工具,而不是目前投资于VF。•我们的目标是提供VF能做什么和不能做什么的现实预期,帮助生产商做好充分准备,并成功部署和使用VF。

  • Virtual fencing (VF) for livestock is being commercialized by several companies in the United States.
  • Ranchers and land managers are interested in the potential benefits of VF but have reservations about its cost.
  • Cost structures of VF systems vary and are different from physical fencing, making direct comparisons difficult.
  • We explore relevant costs and outline scenarios where VF systems are likely to be cost effective.
  • We discuss practical considerations for livestock producers and rangeland managers who are considering adopting VF.
•美国几家公司正在将家畜虚拟围栏(VF)商业化。•牧场主和土地管理者对VF的潜在收益感兴趣,但对其成本持保留态度。VF系统的成本结构各不相同,与物理围栏不同,因此很难进行直接比较。•我们探讨了相关成本,并概述了VF系统可能具有成本效益的场景。•我们讨论了考虑采用VF的牲畜生产者和牧场管理者的实际考虑。

The role of Extension in outreach and education of virtual fencing: suggested best practices that leverage Kolb's experiential learning theory 扩展在虚拟击剑推广和教育中的作用:利用科尔布的体验式学习理论的最佳实践建议

  • Extension can fill a gap between understanding virtual fencing (VF) technology and implementing it on the landscape by providing unbiased information to stakeholders.
  • Kolb's experiential learning theory (ELT) focuses on how individuals learn best by doing, which can help learners enhance critical thinking, develop a deeper understanding of the material, and support lifelong learning.
  • We advocate that Extension educators leverage ELT by also considering different customer types as they relate to technology adoption: early adopters, early majority, and late majority.
  • Extension educators can focus outreach efforts on awareness campaigns, field demonstrations, peer learning groups (PLG), and research to foster the adoption of new precision ranching technologies such as VF.
  • PLG can foster a learning community in which producers share experiences using VF, allowing the PLG to then become a successful network of individuals with common goals and establish communication, honesty, trust, and a shared worldview.
  • ELT can be extended to teaching college students about precision ranching technologies because these students are future rangeland management professionals who will encounter further advancements and offerings of precision ranching technology such as VF.
•通过向利益相关者提供公正的信息,扩展可以填补理解虚拟围栏(VF)技术与在景观中实施该技术之间的空白。•科尔布的体验式学习理论(ELT)侧重于个人如何通过实践来学习,这可以帮助学习者增强批判性思维,加深对材料的理解,并支持终身学习。•我们提倡扩展教育者利用英语教学,同时考虑不同的客户类型,因为他们与技术采用有关:早期采用者,早期大多数,和后期大多数。•推广教育工作者可以将推广工作重点放在宣传活动、实地示范、同伴学习小组(PLG)和研究上,以促进采用新的精确牧场技术,如VF。•PLG可以培养一个学习社区,在这个社区中,制作人可以分享使用VF的经验,从而使PLG成为一个拥有共同目标的成功的个人网络,并建立沟通、诚实、信任和共享的世界观。•英语教学可以扩展到教授大学生关于精确牧场技术,因为这些学生是未来的牧场管理专业人员,他们将遇到进一步的进步和提供精确牧场技术,如VF。

  • Virtual fence (VF) is an emerging system to control and confine animals using Global Positioning System (GPS) and communication technologies rather than physical boundaries such as barbed wire or electric fence.
  • Animals in a VF system wear a device (e.g., a collar) that emits an audible cue when the animal approaches the virtual boundary and an electrical cue if the boundary is crossed.
  • VF provides an adaptive grazing management tool to intensify grazing in some areas or minimize animal use in other areas for specific conservation or production goals.
  • Several challenges currently exist with emerging VF technologies and include failure of devices, animals that do not respect the boundary, and excessive time and money to implement.
  • VF promises increased flexibility for managing rangelands in response to ecosystem disturbances such as wildland fire, variable forage availability due to climate change, facilitating restoration practices, reducing conflicts between livestock and wildlife, and accommodating human uses on public lands.
•虚拟围栏(VF)是一种新兴系统,使用全球定位系统(GPS)和通信技术来控制和限制动物,而不是使用铁丝网或电动围栏等物理边界。•VF系统中的动物佩戴一种设备(例如项圈),当动物接近虚拟边界时发出声音提示,如果越过边界则发出电子提示。•VF提供了一种适应性放牧管理工具,可以在某些地区加强放牧,或在其他地区减少动物使用,以实现特定的保护或生产目标。•新兴的VF技术目前存在一些挑战,包括设备故障、动物不尊重边界、实施时间和金钱过多。•VF承诺增加管理牧场的灵活性,以应对生态系统干扰,如野火,气候变化导致的可变饲料可用性,促进恢复实践,减少牲畜和野生动物之间的冲突,并适应人类在公共土地上的使用。
