In the YouTube video "Cercas de sucesso: o segredo para uma contenção efetiva do gado," João Correia highlights the significance of maintaining clean fences for effective livestock containment. He uses an example from the Varzea da Palma region in Minas Gerais, where the rapid growth of andropogon grass on the left side of a fence results in a dirty fence and reduced efficiency of the electric fence . This situation leads to herd mixing, social disputes, and a loss of up to 15 days of expected weight gain. To prevent this issue, Correia advocates for a focus on clean, well-maintained right-side fences and encourages farmers to develop a preventive maintenance plan for year-round fence cleaning. This approach ensures lot integrity and contributes to increased livestock production.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cercas de sucesso: o segredo para uma contenção efetiva do gado," João Correia discusses the importance of keeping fences clean for effective containment of livestock. He shares an example from the north of Minas, in the Varzea da Palma region, where the andropogon grass grows rapidly on the left side, and a dirty fence is observed. This situation results in a loss of efficiency in the electric fence and consequently, a herd mixes, leading to social disputes and a loss of up to 15 days of expected weight gain. To address this issue, Correia emphasizes the need to eliminate this situation and focus on a right-side fence that is clean, well-maintained, and effectively used. He encourages farmers to develop a preventive maintenance plan for fence cleaning, aiming for year-round efficiency and maintaining lot integrity, which in turn leads to additional gains in livestock production.
