Fencing for farm biosecurity and animal containment
Perimeter fencing with concrete base reduces biosecurity risks and improves flock health and farm efficiency
or
Detail description
Fencing up to 2 meters high is a critical biosecurity measure for broiler farms, preventing unauthorized access by visitors, wildlife, and domestic animals. Typically reinforced with a concrete base, the fence is tailored to terrain—such as field or mountain—based on local risks. Installation takes a few days and costs around €500 per 1,000 m². It enhances flock health, farm safety, and operational efficiency, with potential reductions in carbon footprint in high-risk areas. The practice is widely applicable across farm types and rearing systems.
