10 Protection of human property

11 Protection of human property Goal of the project: to help livestock breeders, beekeepers and other landowners protect their property Two approaches: Electric fencing Livestock guarding dogs Distribution focus: - areas with high densities of damages - based on the Analysis of occurrence of human-bear conflicts in Slovenia - Alpine area

12 Protection of human property electric fences Sheep herds pastures protected: 17 High electric nettings (170 cm) Perimeter: m Project result: 14 stationary beehives 19 mobile beehives = 50 farmers equipped with electric fences 17 pastures

13 Protection of human property electric fences Stationary beehives protected: 14-6 lines of metallic wire - Bottom line cm from the ground (prevents digging under the fence) - Fixed posts

14 Protection of human property electric fences Mobile beehives protected: 19 High electric nettings (170 cm) Easy to set up around a truck or trailer

15 Protection of human property electric fences 5 intervention kits at SFS regional offices - available for immediate help - to protect proterty when damages occur frequently in a short period of time

19 Common mistakes in using electric fences Bad maintenance of the fence

20 Common mistakes in using electric fences Lack of electric current or low voltage

21 Common mistakes in using electric fences Small fence perimeter

22 Protection of human property electric fences Protection measures are effective, if used correctly Regular field-controls: 2 per year Checking the voltage, maintenance and the set-up of fences If the equipment is not used properly contacts with owner

23 Protection of human property electric fences Controlling the efficiency of implemented measures automatic cameras

24 Protection of human property electric fences SFS damage officials instructed for controlling the use of equipment on the field

25 Common mistakes in using electric fences The most common irregularities Lack of electric current Low voltage (less than 5 kv) Poor grounding system Bad maintenance Small fence perimeter Irregular fence set-up Some animals left outside the fence Handbook: Protecting sheep from large carnivores

26 Livestock guarding dogs 5 working lines established and contracts signed 4 breeds: Caucasian shepherd -- Tornjak (2 breeders) Karst Shepherd -- Sarplaninac (Yugoslavian Shepherd Dog)

27 Livestock guarding dogs The goal: to distribute 20 pups from established working lines to interested livestock breeders December first project litter (Tornjak breed) 8 pups distributed / subsidized to new owners as future guarding dogs for livestock

28 8 pups joined new owners

29 Their first steps in a new environment Breeders of working lines check young dogs behaviour (visits and regular contacts with new owners)

30 Regular visits (LGD breeders + dog experts) Checking their integration into the sheep herd New litters expected in late Autumn/Winter 2017
