Pred-X Predator Protection System
Mobile electric perimeter protection designed for serious pastured poultry operations in Western Canada.
Predator pressure is real
In Western Canada, predator pressure can be significant - especially for larger flocks on pasture.
Fox, coyote, mink and other small predators can cause repeated losses once birds are discovered. In some regions, larger wildlife may also investigate coops out of curiosity.
The Alumi-Coop structure is highly predator resistant on its own. The Pred-X system adds a powered perimeter deterrent for operations that require an additional layer of protection.
Designed for larger flocks
This system is best suited for:
- Larger pastured poultry flocks
- Commercial broiler operations
- Properties with known predator pressure
- Producers who want to prevent losses before they happen
For smaller backyard flocks located near the home, this level of protection may be unnecessary.
Simple, mobile perimeter deterrent
Pred-X creates a live offset perimeter around the coop using aluminum wire powered by a solar energizer.
It is designed to integrate with the mobility of the Alumi-Coop system - adding deterrence without permanent fencing.
Moves with your system
Disconnect the bungee.
Move the coop.
Reconnect.
No trenching.
No permanent fencing.
No complex setup.
This allows chore efficiency while maintaining a live perimeter deterrent.
A strong deterrent
Electric perimeter systems are widely used in agricultural settings as a psychological deterrent.
While no system should be considered wildlife-proof, an investigating predator that receives a shock is often discouraged from returning.
In regions where larger wildlife may be present, this added layer of deterrence can provide valuable peace of mind.
In bear country, a curious bear that noses the system may decide it isn't worth coming back.
