Advanced virtual fencing and control system for animals

Animal Husbandry has become an important source of income for millions of rural families and has taken an important role in providing employment and income generating opportunity. Indian Dairying shows few of the best Statistics. Today, India has the world's largest dairy herd, and is second only to the United States in milk production. Managing this immense number of animals is not an easy task. Often herds of cattle cross boundaries, lose direction and encroach into restricted areas. Also overgrazing is causing a serious problem of soil erosion. Construction of a real physical fence is too expensive and due to large and variable areas of grass lands, it is difficult too. In order to overcome these shortcomings of traditional ways, we design a Virtual Fence in order to control and manage animals. Virtual fencing is a method of controlling animals without ground-based fencing. Control occurs by altering an animal’s behaviour through one or more sensory cues administered to the animal after it has attempted to penetrate an electronically-generated boundary. This boundary can be of any geometrical shape, and though unseen by the eye, is detected by a computer system worn by the animal. This is done using injection control system.​
