Pherofort
A system for non-violent herd protection
The wolf is back in Central Europe. With Pherofort, we have developed a system that automatically supports farmers and livestock owners in herd management. At the same time, Pherofort collects data on herd behaviour and wolf occurrence and is therefore also of interest to responsible documentation bodies such as the DBBW and for wildlife management in general. As the wolf is rightly a protected species, we rely on a novel, non-violent deterrence measure using pheromones.
