ABSTRACT:
An animal restraint features a headgate in which a pair of generally upright elongated pipes are spaced apart somewhat greater than the width of at least the head of the animal to be restrained. The pipes are mounted to permit rotation of each pipe about its longitudinal axis. A first spur gear is mounted on one of the pipes, while a second spur gear mounted on the other of the pipes is aligned and sized with respect to the first so that they intermesh in a manner that each is slaved to the other. A pair of elongated tubes are secured at one end to the associated pipes in generally-parallel spaced relationship with the other or upper ends of the tubes being movable toward and away from the respective pipes. At its upper end, at least one of the tubes is urged away from its associated pipe. The assemblies of the pipes and tubes are releasably latched in a manner that the tubes are positioned between the pipes so as to captivate the neck of the animal. Preferably associated with the foregoing restraint is a bench over which a table is tiltable. A clamping frame is associated with the table in a manner to squeeze the body of the animal.
