How virtual fencing supports animal welfare | Nofence

Animal welfare

Built around the needs of the animal, not just the convenience of the farmer.

"From the welfare side, if you have concerns about a cow, you can always see where it is off your phone. And if someone does stray away from the herd, especially calving time, you need to act on it straight away."

James Waight

Calm by design

Animals learn to respond to audio cues rather than physical barriers. A mild pulse, roughly half the intensity of a standard electric fence, is only used as a last resort. After training, 96% of boundary interactions are resolved with sound alone. The result is a predictable, low-stress environment where animals graze naturally and move freely within their boundaries.

Backed by independent research

Studies measuring cortisol levels in fecal and hair samples confirm that livestock using Nofence experience stress levels comparable to those in traditional electric fenced pastures. Because the system is consistent and predictable, animals learn fast and interact with the boundary less and less over time.

Spot health issues before they become problems

Continuous GPS and movement monitoring means you always know where your animals are and how they're behaving. Unusual activity patterns stand out against the herd baseline, giving you an early warning system that helps you act faster and reduce veterinary costs.
