ABSTRACT:
In transferring an animal in the standing position from a chute to a conveyor, such as a double rail arrangement, a triangular wedge movable horizontally is positioned between the chute and the conveyor with a slippery inclined ramp directly under the wedge and with the conveyor positioned below the wedge, whereby the animal attempting to step on the wedge will step on the ramp and when pushed by animals behind it, will step and slide onto the conveyor with its legs upright and straddling the conveyor. A cover is located at rump dimension above the wedge edge so as to prevent the animal from stepping on the wedge and getting off the conveyor while stepping onto the conveyor from the chute.
