VIRTUAL FENCING COLLARS FOR CATTLE
Go to the formEquipment description
Virtual fencing collars for cattle are devices that help to control and track the location of animals in real time, without the need for physical fences. These collars have GPS technology and solar panels to recharge.
How do they work?
They emit signals that mark a virtual area where animals can move freely. If an animal approaches the boundaries of this area, the collar first emits a sound to warn it. If the animal keeps moving forward, the sound gets louder and, in the end, it can give a small electric shock to prevent it from crossing the boundaries.
These collars are managed through an app on mobile phones or tablets, where the farmer can define and change the grazing areas, in addition to receiving notifications if something unexpected happens. They also offer useful information about the condition and behaviour of the animals, which helps to improve the management and welfare of livestock.
Equipment keys
The target audience is any farmer in Navarra who has cattle (these collars are not suitable for other animals such as horses for example)
It is intended that any type of livestock farm, large or small, can access them, so the costs will be manageable and accessible.
The collars themselves are free, but these collars work thanks to a satellite connection, so they carry a software license cost that they use to connect to the internet, so you will only pay this connection cost of € 60 per year for each collar.
You can keep the collars for one year. After that time, you have to return them so that other farmers can also try them. The only exception that would allow continuing with the collars when a year has passed would be that there is no one waiting to use them. In that case you could extend the time beyond that year.

Maintenance and revision of the equipment
If the equipment you want to use requires maintenance and / or revision, it will be us, IRIS NAVARRA, who will be in charge of carrying out such maintenance, because it is our responsibility to keep the equipment in the best possible condition and our responsibility is also to make the process as simple as possible for you.
What if there are problems?
As a potential user who will use these collars, you have the obligation to take care of the material and, of course, yours will be responsible in the event that possible damages occur during the period in which you are using these collars.
In any case, the collars have a 2-year warranty.
Do I need training to use this equipment?
You do NOT need specific prior training, as a mandatory requirement to access this equipment, but you must have the minimum knowledge to use it properly.
In this case, it is recommended to view the user manual and the videos, where it explains the operation of the system, how to implement fencing, the initial training phase, etc.
