APPARATUS FOR RESTRAINING THE NECK AND/OR HEAD OF A FARM ANIMAL

摘要

Apparatus for restraining the neck and/or head of a farm animal having a frame with a base, a top and opposed sides parts, which are spaced apart to allow at least the head of said animal to pass between these parts. Flexible belts extend between upper and lower locations connected to the frame and which are spaced respectively above and below the neck and head position of an animal to be treated, the belts having side portions connected to the frame sides by extensible means tending to hold these side portions apart. A fluid cylinder is attached to top ends of the belts so that when an animal has placed its head between the belt side portions these can be pulled inwardly against the side of an animal's neck or head to restrain movement of the animal.
