A system for animal husbandry including a rotatable cradle (1) to position an animal on an adjustable table (9) and an immobilization means to immobilize the animal whilst on the table is disclosed. A ramp (7 not shown) leads the animal into the rotatable cradle (1) mounted in a circular frame (2). Rollers (46,48,49) support the rotatable frame to position said cradle (1) in a loading position or in a discharge position. The rotatable cradle (1) has a pair of clamps (5) to restrain the animal that diverge away from the animal such that when the cradle (1) is rotated to the discharge position the animal is free to slide out of the clamps (5) on the adjustable table (9). The adjustable table (9) comprises an endless belt (21) supported on rollers (46,48,49), the animal being supported in the curve of the belt and the belt being driven by on of the rollers. An electrical immobiliser immobilizes the animal with electrodes being applied to the mouth and tail of the animal.
