Saharudin Anan, . An experiment of utilisation of electric fence as a deterrent to crop damage by elephants. pp. 23-28. ISSN 0121-8126
Abstract
The electric fence was one of the methods experimented to control elephants (Elephas maximus) from damaging crops. A group of six animals were involved in the damage within the study area. Electrified wires carrying a pulse current of 5 000 volts each pulse lasting for 0.03 milisecond were used. Damage crop figures were collected and compared before during and after completion of fence construction. There was a reduction in both the number of damaged palm and frequency of elephant entry soon after the electric fence was put into operation.
