ABSTRACT:
A table is provided that allows easy surgical access to all parts of the bovine anatomy. Upon entering the table apparatus, the bovine is initially restrained by a stanchion-type head gate which is rapidly adjustable to accommodate a wide range of neck thicknesses. A squeeze cage or chute has sidewalls adjustable in spacing at the top and bottom independently by means of a lead screw arrangement that assures uniform contraction of the squeeze sides to the desired degree. In addition to this lateral restraint, the bovine is further restrained by a vertically adjustable back support which is brought down to bear on the back of the animal. The table can be rotated to any position through 360.degree. about a longitudinal horizontal axis. In a rotated position, the floor sections of the table may be swung on offset hinges completely clear of the work area to provide access to the hooves and belly of the bovine. Access is provided to the sides of the animal by the provision of a plurality of selectively removable side panels on each of the squeeze sides of the cage. Besides being able to accommodate bovines of all sizes, the head gate upon completion of the procedure is instantaneously released to permit the bovine to move forwardly through the open exit opening thus provided.
