Tackling TB with Predator XFENCE
Tackling TB with Predator XFENCE
At their recent open day Harper Adams University College demonstrated their new bio secure area which they have constructed using McVeigh Parker XFENCE with a horizontal mesh apron.
Scott Kirby their farm manager gave the following comment on TB prevention. ’Disease outbreak and in particular TB represent one of the greatest risks on many farms. While many factors are out of our control, we can reduce risk on farms with effective bio security measures, one of the most effective ways to achieve this is the use of a bio secure perimeter fence around our most vulnerable areas’.
McVeigh Parker is the leading UK stockist and supplier of the Predator XFENCE. Recently developed with bio-security in mind, this wire stock fence has been specifically designed to withstand the aggressive nature of badgers. The XFENCE stock fence comes with the added advantage of a patented hinge joint within the fence pattern; this hinge allows the fence to have an apron fold either at the top or bottom of the fence which will act as a defence to burrowing or climbing predators. The X knot configuration is proven to be 24% stronger than any other and the unobtrusive smooth surfaces greatly reduces the risk of fleece removal or hide damage in livestock. The XFENCE comes with the added advantage of an XTRALIFE coating which provides a life 3-4 times longer than heavily galvanised wire. The high tensile wires are manufactured from primary metals only, providing you with a guaranteed strength every time. The elasticity of the wire will be able to take years of pressure without any deterioration to the fence line.
