The concept of animal welfare is concerned with the individual animal, the type of situation the animal is in, and how the animal experiences its situation. When animals have good welfare, they thrive. Well- being draws on interactions between health, environment, animal care, and the characteristics of the animal itself. An often-used explanation of what good animal welfare is, can be found in the ‘Five Freedoms’ laid out by the Brambell Committee (1965): Freedom from Hunger and Thirst: by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour. Freedom from Discomfort: by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area in all situations. Freedom from Pain, Injury, and Disease: by working towards prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment of sick animals. Freedom from Fear and Distress: by ensuring that the animal has conditions and treatment that avoid mental suffering. Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour: by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animal’s own kind. So on one hand, we must make ethical assessments, while on the other, we must use facts from research. The subject of ethics addresses subjective values in relation to animal welfare. We can ask ourselves ‘What would our society consider to be a sufficient quality of life for animals?’ Another question is ‘How can we understand the concept of “quality of life” for animals specifically?’ How are animals affected by their surroundings and how do they experience their situation? We often try to describe the condition of an animal based on its mastery of the environment in which it lives. The level of welfare is described as the balance between positive and negative experiences. Based on such an understanding, we use the following definition of animal welfare: “Anima…

When an individual experiences the audio warning and the subsequent delivery of the electric pulse, it normally begins to understand the relationship between the two. Most animals learn to associate the sound with the electric pulse within three days. We recommend that you set aside 1-2 weeks for the training. When the animals have learned to master the connection between their behavior and the audio warning, and they turn upon the sound, they can be moved to new pastures without physical fences. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 14 of 63 Are you new to keeping livestock? Make sure to allow your animals enough time to get to know their new grounds before embarking on the training. The animals should know and feel safe in the area where the training takes place. Experience shows that they establish a sense of security in a completely new location after approximately one week. However, this period will depend on several factors, such as the make-up of the herd and the individuals in it. * Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 15 of 63 2.5.Shelter beacon Environmental factors can cause degradedGPSsignals. A roof can interfere with the collar’s ability to receive accurateGPSsignals, which may cause the position to drift. If the drifting position is logged outside of the Nofence boundary, the collar may emit audio warnings and electric pulses. This is why we recommend using a shelter beacon if your animals have access to a barn or a shed. The Nofence shelter beacon is a Bluetooth unit which disables the collar’sGPSreceiver. When the collar picks up the signal from the shelter beacon, the operating mode is disabled. Whenever the animal moves out of the shelter beacon’s range, the operating mode comes back on. The reach of a shelter beacon is approximately 10 metres. The Bluetooth symbol will appear in the app when the collar has contact with a shelter beacon. To check the reach of a shelter beacon, you should take a collar in your hand and walk around with it to see when the beacon symbol appears in the app. Physical obstacles such as wall may limit the reach. In larger rooms, we recommend using several shelter beacons. If the animals often lay down alongside the outside walls of the building, you should also consider placing shelter beacons here. Observe where the animals lay down to rest to estimate where the beacon should be installed. Be aware that a shelter beacon could make a dent in the Nofence boundary if the reach tangents the boundary. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 16 of 63 This is the symbol you will see in the app when the collar is in contact with the shelter beacon. In larger rooms, we recommend using several shelter beacons. If the animals often lay down alongside the outside walls of the building, you should also consider placing shelter beacons here. Observe where the animals lay down to rest to estimate where the shelter beacon should be installed. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 17 of 63 Please note that reverting to the operating mode may take some time. The animal can therefore move outside the pasture before regaining active fence function if the Nofence boundary is close to where the shelter beacon is located. !

Find the Pastures option in the menu at the bottom of the screen, and follow the instructions. Put your finger down on the point in the map where you want to start drawing your first Nofence post. You can choose between several map types – satellite map, standard map and aerial photos. Be aware that the aerial option may diverge some from the former. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 27 of 63 The Pastures overview will list both active and inactive pastures, and as you create more pastures, the list grows longer. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 28 of 63 Exclusion zones Use exclusion zones to close off areas of the pasture that you want to prevent the animals from entering, such as dangerous cliffs/drops, shelters or marshland. You can create up to nine exclusion zones per pasture. To create one or more exclusion zones inside the pasture, go to the Pastures option in the menu and select the pasture you want to edit. Press Edit pasture boundary, followed by the symbol for exclusion zones down to the left. Three choices will appear, press New exclusion zone. Create the exclusion zone in the same way as you created your pasture. All exclusion zones must be inside the boundaries of a pasture. Press Save exclusion zone to the top right when you are satisfied. Remember to press Save to the top right on the next screen, and confirm by pressing Save, and update collars, otherwise the changes will be discarded. Do you want to change or delete an exclusion zone? Go to the pasture that you want to edit, chose Edit pasture boundary and press on the exclusion zone symbol again. Opt for Edit exclusion zone or Delete exclusion zone, and then press on the exclusion zone you want to change or delete. Follow the instructions depending on whether you want to make changes or delete the exclusion zone. Remember to press Save again unless you want to lose the changes you have made. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 29 of 63 Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 30 of 63 Pasture analysis From the Pasture screen, select the pasture you want to see more information about. Press on the Analysis button on the top right and choose between today’s data, data from yesterday or last week. Opt for positions, electrical pulses, or escapes (heat map view). Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 31 of 63 4.4.Collars Press on the Collars section of the menu to find a list of all your collars. The first time you use the app, the collars will not be assigned to any pasture, and will hence be found in the Not assigned list. Press on any one collar to get more information about it. Give the collar a name or animal ID in order to recognize which animal you are receiving information about. The Bluetooth search function The Bluetooth search function can be used to find a collar that is lost. Your phone will use Bluetooth to find the collar, so make sure this feature is enabled before you start your search. Please remember to allow your phone to show your location as well. Open the Nofence app and find the last recorded position for the collar in question, and go to this spot in the terrain. Select ‘Collars’ at the bottom of your screen and find the lost collar in the list that appears. Find the ‘Play to localize’ option and press the tone icon to the right. If the collar is able to connect to the phone via Bluetooth, it will start playing a tune, making it a lot easier to find it in the terrain. Keep in mind that the Bluetooth reach is approximately 164 ft / 50 metres in open landscapes. If you don’t find the collar immediately, try moving around in the landscape a bit to see if you can establish a connection. When the app has found a collar, it also gives an indication of how far away the collar is. Remember that if the collar is out of battery, the Bluetooth search function will not work. Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 32 of 63 Adding collars to your user This functionality uses Bluetooth technology, so make sure to switch on Bluetooth on your mobile and insert a battery into the collar before you start. Go to Collars in the main menu to see the collar list. Press on the plus icon on the top right of the screen to add the new collar to your user. The app will now show a list of all collars with Bluetooth contact. Select the one(s) you want to add to your user and confirm your choice. The search function should not be used as long as an animal is wearing the collar as the animal may confuse the sound with the audio warning. ! Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 33 of 63

The collars that appear with Bluetooth contact on the list, are all collars with Bluetooth contact. You will however only be able to add collars which do not have an owner. If you attempt to add a collar belonging to another user, an error message will appear. Removing collars from your user Remove single collars from your user by selecting the Collars option from the main menu. You are only able to remove collars without an active pasture, so make sure the collar you want to remove is found in the Without pasture list.

Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 41 of 63 Sharing of data to Nofence’ official Grazing map Nofence’ official Grazing map is a service that allows the farmer to share the animals’ most current positions as well as their current grazing boundary with the public. Many animals graze on grounds where members of the public are passing through, and making the animals positions and pasture boundaries available through the Grazing map could be of great benefit to the farmer. You are also able to share your contact info (name and email address) in the map, allowing members of the public to contact you in case they notice a sick or injured animal. Under this section you also find grazing posters with QR codes. The codes directs to the Grazing map and the posters further inform of animals grazing in the area using Nofence collars, as well as encourages people to keep their dogs on a lead around the animals.

Do not use chlorine as this can damage the solar panels. If you wish to use disinfection, we recommend using Virkon S. •Charge the battery. We recommend removing the battery from the charger when fully charged •The collars and batteries should be stored in a dry and clean place at room temperature. Ahead of the new grazing season •Make sure there is no dust or mud on the battery poles. Clean the poles using q-tips if needed •Apply Vaseline at the bottom of the battery poles. Vaseline should only be applied to the poles on each side of the battery (+ and -), not in the middle one. See picture below •The battery is now ready to be used Nofence ASUser Guide - UK - 2021_en Page 58 of 63 6.2.Maintenance and storage for sheep and goat collars Maintain your collars to ensure longevity and stable functionality When changing batteries: •Remove dust and debris from the collar’s battery slot •ApplyCRC5-56 or WD-40 to the battery poles every time you charge the battery •ApplyCRC5-56 or WD-40 to the collar’s contact pins when needed •See to it that the solar panels are not covered by something (fur, clay, etc.), this will make the collars charge poorly CRC Our recommendation is to useCRC5-56 or WD-40 as a lubricant for the contact pins and battery poles. These products drive out humidity and protect the contact points from corrosion. The contact pins need lubrication The contact pins providing contact between the collar and the battery are spring loaded. To ensure that they pop out easily, we recommend that you apply one of the products mentioned above using a cotton bud. You may also press the pins slightly in and out using something soft, such as cotton buds. We also recommend that you apply the same procedure for the battery poles every time you charge the battery. This will protect against corrosion. At the end of the season •Move the collars in the app to “no pasture” •Remove the batteries from the collars – this will turn the system off and usage costs are halted •Rinse the collars (including the solar panels) in lukewarm water, and use a nylon brush such as a toothbrush. Alternatively, use cotton buds. Do not use chlorine as it damages the solar panels.
