The first step in biosecurity is having good fences:<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li class=\"\">Firstly, make sure existing boundary fences are secure so you can prevent entry of stray livestock onto your property, and prevent your stock from mixing with neighbours\u2019 livestock and\/or from creating a hazard on roads. Check boundaries regularly for branches\/broken wires and maintain in good order. Consider ringlock with a couple of plain wires on the top for boundary fencing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Internal fences should be at least 7-strand plain wire for alpacas. Do not use barb wire or electric fences with alpacas. Map out new fences\/replacement fences, dates for replacement, budgets etc. For example, you may plan to replace\/upgrade 5% of fencing every year to keep fences in good order and put in x km of internal fencing per year to improve laneways, control grazing, protect shelter belts etc.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Place gates in sites that enhance stock flow and minimise erosion; hang them so they not only swing but keep stock inside the paddock too.
