ABSTRACT:
A giraffe handling chute designed to confine and secure a giraffe for veterinary and hygienic care includes a confining structure with a frame connecting a fixed wall assembly and an opposing, movable wall assembly. The movable wall assembly is selectively movable toward and away from the fixed wall assembly along the frame to securely hold the giraffe. The confining structure is adjustable vertically via telescoping members at the bottom and top of the frame, and the entire confining structure is rotatable relative to a support assembly such that the confined giraffe can be rotated to a position in which it is lying on its side. Other features include pivoting leg restraints and torso support flaps and a removable neck restraint assembly and neck support assembly for immobilizing and supporting the neck of a confined giraffe during sedation and/or rotation.
