Abstract: Electric fences can be used to protect farmhouses, farmlands, forest bungalows, etc from
animals. In a way, these simulate the job of a cowboy or forest guard. Already popular in countries where manpower is expensive, electric fences are slowly becoming popular in India as well. These control the animals by giving them a short, sharp but safe shock that teaches them to stay away from the fence. Thus electric fences are economical and practical solutions to maximize field production through controlled grazing. Electric fencing is safe, as its output is
discrete (not continuous). There is certain time duration between two pulses that prevents prolonged shocking to animals or people. In addition, the short ‘on’-time (normally 1/5000th of a second) prevents heat build-up.
