A Cattle Crush is a secure and enclosed stall or cage designed to immobilize cattle and other livestock during examinations, treatments, or veterinary care. It is also referred to as a squeeze chute, standing stock, or simply stock
Introduction
An effective cattle crush is engineered to be efficient, safe, and productive, while also adhering to the principles of animal science and promoting low-stress handling techniques for cattle.
Advantage
Safety
Cattle crushes can help keep both the animals and the handlers safe by restraining the animals and reducing the risk of injury
Efficiency
Cattle crushes can help make procedures faster and easier, which can improve the health of the animals and the productivity of the cattle working yard
Reduced stress
Cattle crushes can help reduce stress on the animals compared to free handling. The snug fit and limited movement of the crush can prevent the animal from panicking or injuring itself.
Fewer handlers
Cattle crushes can be operated with fewer handlers compared to manually restraining cattle.
Why Choose Us
Technical
The width of the crush depends on the size of the cows. The crush length is usually 2000–2400 mm, but can be shorter if all animals are caught in the head bail.
Main Functions
Key Feature
Head bail
The front end of the crush has a head bail, also known as a neck yoke or head gate, to catch and restrain the animal. The head bail can be operated manually or with a remote control. It should be easy to use and safe, with no holes that could trap fingers or hands. A head bail with curved bars that form a diamond shape when closed is better for head control than a head bail with straight bars
Gates and latches
The gates and latches should be able to securely hold the cattle without opening when kicked or struck.
Safety systems
Some crushes have easy access panels for safety and protection for the animals.
Benefits
There are extensive benefits to using a cattle crush in handling dairy and beef cattle on the farm. It provides increased safety for both the animals and the farmers, improved cattle management, enhanced efficiency, and reduced stress levels for the cattle.
Purpose
Weighing cattle
Vaccinations
Tagging
Checking for disease or pregnancy
Scanning
Foot trimming
Artificial insemination (AI)
Helping with calving cows
Suckling new born calves
Application
User Range
Managing a herd of cattle can be challenging, but a cattle crush simplifies the process. It allows for better control and management of the animals. The crush facilitates easy separation and sorting of cattle for various purposes, such as breeding, medical treatments, and weighing.
Common Use
Cattle crushes, also known as squeeze chutes or cattle chutes, are used to safely immobilize livestock for examination, vaccination, tagging, and disease or pregnancy checks. They are typically made from heavy steel pipe or tubing that is welded together and can be fixed or mobile.
How to Use
Usage Instructions
A cattle crush is a strongly built stall or cage that holds big, heavy and strong animals like cattle so that workers (including veterinarians) can work with them. Despite its name, it does not crush the cattle. It is close fitting and simply keeps the animals from moving, which keeps both the cattle and workers safe.
Components
A basic crush consists of: a head restraint (head bail), side squeeze panels, associated animal control equipment (e.g. chin bar and squeeze), veterinarian section and access gates.
Although some crushes have a reverse-out configuration, a walk- through design is essential when handling large numbers of cattle
