Why Fencing Off Your Dam is Crucial for Animal Performance (And How to Do It)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, we're going to learn why fencing off your dam is so important for animal performance and show you how to do it. By fencing off your dam, you'll be able to create a buffer zone for water filtration that will allow livestock to consume clean water, convert feed and improve their performance overall.
If you're interested in increasing your animal's performance, then watch this video and learn how fencing off your dam can help you! By doing this, you'll be able to improve your animals' health and fertility while also increasing their productivity.

    What an important topic to be widely discussed! As mentioned close to the end of the video, nurturing biodiversity can benefit the surrounding crop fields or pastures. Adding geese to these enclosed ponds certainly can be another source of fertility and a source of income as well. Thanks Tim for all the knowledge you share.

    Fenced off from grazing animals... but what about geese, ducks, fish? Would it help planting additional filtering plants around the edges like rushes, willow, pecans? Would trees put the water into the air in the form of leaves or would it reduce evaporation by shading? Is it worth placing solar panels floating on the water surface to keep the panels cooler and protect them against fire. If the dams are off limits for grazing animals, what happens in a fire event? How do you have safe places for animals?

    Does that mean Fencing off dams all year round including hot summers, like humans, cows like to go for a swim 🤔

    And stir up mud and deficate in the water reducing clean water availability. You can plant trees to reduce heat stress. It’s been well documented that anything between 17-30% tree cover has no negative impact on productivity.
