Press Release: Webinar on Innovative Virtual Fencing Technology for Livestock Producers
The University of Missouri Extension invites livestock producers to enhance their grazing systems through an innovative webinar focusing on virtual fencing technology. This cutting-edge system utilizes sensors attached to animals, enabling real-time data transfer to producers’ smartphones, reminiscent of fitness trackers for humans.
Chrisee Brandl, a livestock specialist from the University, emphasized the potential of this technology: "We encourage livestock producers looking to improve their grazing strategies to attend this webinar and explore virtual fence opportunities." The session will not only cover rotational grazing enhancements but also delve into how virtual fencing can be utilized on cropland.
Shelby Jenkins, another livestock specialist, noted the importance of managing cover crops and crop residues effectively since their availability is limited throughout the year. "Virtual fence technology simplifies the implementation of grazing strategies, ultimately increasing the carrying capacity of these temporary forages," explained Jenkins.
Producers interested in the future of sustainable grazing practices can register for the webinar series at University of Missouri Extension. For additional inquiries, contact Chrisee Brandl at (573) 642-0755 or chriseebrandl@missouri.edu, or Shelby Jenkins at (816) 776-6961 or shelbyjenkins@missouri.edu.
