ABSTRACT:
A device (10) is disclosed for conveying cattle (12, 14, 16) along a path to a treatment position (18) by a conveyor assembly (20). The conveyor assembly (20) includes a conveyor belt (26) which supports the animal above the ground at its brisket so that the animal cannot move independently along the conveyor assembly. Air bags (50, 54) or other structure are used to hold the legs of the animal in a gentle confining manner as the animal is conveyed along the conveyor belt. A head gate (48) is mounted at the treatment position to hold the head of the animal. The entire device can be surrounded by a housing (60) which provides a darkened tunnel to calm the animal and encourage the animal to move to the treatment position.
