ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed which is designed to hold animals in a completely immobile state to enable total freedom of an operator to perform various operations on the animal, such as castration, innoculations, surgery, tattooing, or the like. The invention is particularly useful with pigs or other animals of comparable size, which can be transferred to the device of the present invention by a single person without injury to the animal. When used for immobilizing a pig, a flexible cone adjusted to approximate the size of the pig's head retains the animal's head as it is placed on its back in the device. A horizontal bar then slides down to apply firm pressure on the back legs of the pig, now securely immobilized for performing of veterinary operations.
