ABSTRACT:
Animal immobilization apparatus accommodates a typically encountered range of herd animal sizes to permit an unassisted operator to perform various animal treatments such as castration, innoculations, surgery, tatooing, and the like. The apparatus is especially useful to an unassisted operator whose task is to quickly humanely castrate the various sizes of pigs in his herd. Each successively encountered herd animal is placed supinely within the apparatus cradle that is frontally equipped with a canopy restricting the animal's head. A laterally extending restraining-bar is moved forwardly and downwardly along apparatus parallel inclined-rails so as to press forwardly against the thus immobilized animal's upstanding hindlegs. For further operational convenience, the apparatus will have the cradle member pivotably mounted at some finite-elevation, and will be equipped with means for resisting the hindlegs reflexes against the restraining-bar.
