摘要

•虚拟围栏（VF）技术正在迅速发展并被采用，但许多牧场主和消费者对其对牧场肉牛福利的影响存在疑问。•我们进行了两项研究，使用VF项圈或传统电围栏轮流放牧肉牛。我们测量了几种常见的应激生理和行为指标，并将这些指标与从VF项圈接收的电刺激次数相关联。•在两种围栏内轮换的牛的生理和行为指标没有差异。受电刺激次数与应激指标之间无明显相关性。从牛福利的角度来看，我们认为继续开发和利用VF是有必要的。

Virtual fences are not more stressful than conventional electric fences in rotationally stocked beef cattle

•
Virtual fence (VF) technology is rapidly developing and being adopted, but many ranchers and consumers have questions about its effect on the welfare of range beef cattle.
•
We conducted two studies using either VF collars or conventional electric fencing to rotationally graze beef cattle. We measured several common physiological and behavioral indicators of stress and correlated these indicators with the number of electric stimuli received from the VF collars.
•
Physiological and behavioral indicators of stress were not different between cattle rotated within the two types of fencing. No correlations were evident between the number of electrical stimuli received and stress indicators. From the perspective of cattle welfare, we concluded that continued development and use of VF is warranted.
