Restraining domestic animals

A continuation from yesterday's farm work. I found a good web source that shows how to restrain domestic animals in various ways. Some I have seen in the farm and some not, but it's good to know it all though. :)

*********************************************************

Occasionally, livestock must be restrained for examination and treatment. Restraining animal with care to ensure safety and minimum of stress.



Cattle and water buffalo restraining


Grasping the nostrils with thumb and finger
(I've never seen this one)



Upper jaw held by a rope


1. Double an eight-foot long light rope or sash cord in the middle.
2. Thread the two ends through the resulting loop to form another loop.
3. Slip it slowly over the animal's upper jaw towards the back of the mouth and pull it tight.
4. Tie the other ends of the rope to a post. Be sure that the head is slightly elevated.



Grasping the tail

Hold firmly the base of the tail and raise it straight over the back of animal


Restrain the hock (animal with mastitis)



Double-loop method

To reduce the possibility of injury to either penis or mammary gland of animals

1. Tie the animal to a post or tree with the use of a rope.
2. Double a long rope. Put the middle of the long rope over the neck of the animal.
3. Pass one end below the elbow, pass over the back and down the groin at the other side
4. Do the same with the other end of the long rope on the other side of the animal.
5. Pull the two ends of the rope.
