Pace Farms Poultry Fencing

The Client

Pace Farms, located in the scenic region of Gloucester, NSW, is a leading poultry producer known for its commitment to quality and sustainability. To protect its valuable poultry stock from predators and to ensure biosecurity, the farm sought a robust and reliable fencing solution.

The Challenge

Pace Farms faced significant challenges from local wildlife, including foxes and other small predators, which posed a constant threat to their poultry. The existing barriers were proving inadequate, with breaches leading to losses that impacted the farm's productivity and operational efficiency. Additionally, the farm needed a solution that would not only secure the poultry but also integrate with its sustainable agriculture practices.

The Solution

Southern Wire was selected to provide a comprehensive poultry fencing solution tailored to the specific needs of Pace Farms. This project included the design and installation of a 13km perimeter fence, featuring:

• Specialized Poultry Netting: Made from high-strength, galvanized wire, the netting offered optimal protection against predator intrusion, ensuring that even the smallest of gaps were secured.
• Heightened Barriers: To further enhance security, the fencing was constructed with additional height to prevent predators from jumping over and to deter any attempts to breach the perimeter.
• Sustainable Materials: All materials used were selected for their durability and environmental compatibility, supporting Pace Farms' commitment to sustainable farming practices.

The Implementation

The implementation of the new poultry fencing was carried out with minimal disruption to farm operations. Southern Wire's team worked efficiently and collaboratively with Pace Farms to ensure that the installation was completed on schedule and according to the farm’s stringent specifications.

The Result

The new fencing system has significantly enhanced the security of Pace Farms, effectively eliminating the threat posed by local wildlife. The comprehensive perimeter solution has not only safeguarded the poultry but has also contributed to improved biosecurity measures, leading to better overall farm health and increased operational productivity.

Looking Forward

The successful installation at Pace Farms serves as a testament to Southern Wire’s capability to deliver specialized fencing solutions that meet the diverse needs of the agriculture industry. This project exemplifies how targeted investments in high-quality fencing can yield substantial returns in terms of security, sustainability, and business continuity.
