Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. Everyone experiences stress to some degree even livestock.
Livestock stress occurs when livestock is required to make extreme or prolonged adjustments to adapt or cope to their current environment or surroundings. Stress in livestock can weaken immune systems, elevate blood pressure, and contribute to heart, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and skin conditions.
Implementing the proper level of stress for each individual animal, paying attention to behavioral changes, and following proper handling protocols are important in keeping animals and handlers safe during the process. Stress has a negative impact on all livestock and keeping stress levels down will contribute the livestock’s future well-being.
The goal in any stress-related situation is to limit the amount of stress over a period of time. Animals can endure high stress levels for short periods of time, and low stress levels for longer periods of time. If animals are under high stress conditions, the process needs to be quick and efficient. It is important to note, livestock with limited human interaction react differently than livestock that have been handled properly.
We understand the importance of limiting stress in animals, especially in high-stress situations. Whether it's for a short period or an extended duration, it is crucial to ensure the well-being of livestock. It is worth noting that proper handling plays a significant role in how animals react to stress.
To address this, we are thrilled to introduce our innovative solution - the Safe Animal Handling Livestock Chute System. This multi-purpose portable system is designed to minimize stress levels in livestock and assist trainers working with challenging equines.
With our chute system, handling livestock becomes a low-stress experience. Simply load the horse into the chute, and you can safely work on handling and training. In no time, your horse will have a halter on, and you can begin the training process, saving you valuable time.
We understand that time is a precious resource, and our Safe Animal Handling Livestock Chute System aims to make the handling process quick, efficient, and stress-free. Trust in our solution to provide a safe and effective way to handle livestock and train tough equines.
We are excited to announce the launch of our innovative and versatile portable livestock squeeze chute. Developed by GL Horsemanship and WW Manufacturing, a trusted name in livestock equipment, this custom-designed chute is the perfect solution for handling cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.
One of the standout features of this squeeze chute is its bar grating floor, which provides superior stability and traction for the animals. The heavy-duty adjustable alley adds to its versatility, offering a wide range of potential uses.
What sets our chute apart from others on the market is its portability. With the use of hydraulics, this chute can be easily raised at one or both ends, allowing for effortless transportation. Simply hook it up to a pickup and roll down the road to your desired location.
Durability and ease of maintenance are also key considerations in our design. This all-metal chute eliminates the use of wood, making it incredibly easy to clean and disinfect between different species.
Whether you are a rancher, farmer, or veterinarian, our portable livestock squeeze chute is a practical and reliable tool that will streamline your operations and ensure the safety and well-being of your animals. Trust in our expertise and invest in a chute that is built to last.
Unlike most chute systems in the market that are primarily designed for cattle and small livestock, our innovative chute is tall enough to safely handle horses.
This versatile chute system not only serves as a traditional chute but can also be transformed into a loading chute, providing a seamless and efficient process for loading sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, horses, and other livestock.
One of the key features of our 20-foot alley is its adaptability. By simply raising one end to the height of the trailer, up to 24 inches, it effortlessly converts into a loading chute. This eliminates the need for additional equipment or complex adjustments, saving you time and effort.
To ensure the safety of smaller livestock, our chute is equipped with a 2x2 wire at the bottom, preventing them from slipping through the bars. Furthermore, the grated bottom of the chute allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. With this feature, you can work on your livestock on a clean surface, free from dirt and debris.
We understand the importance of separating livestock during handling, which is why our 20-foot alley comes with two 10-foot compartments. This enables you to efficiently manage and organize your livestock, ensuring a smooth and controlled workflow.
In terms of power, our chute is equipped with a hydraulic system that is run off a battery. To ensure continuous operation, a solar panel is included to keep the battery charged and ready for work. This sustainable feature not only reduces the reliance on external power sources but also contributes to a greener and more eco-friendly operation.
The 20-foot alley with a loading chute is designed with practicality and efficiency in mind. It provides a versatile solution for livestock handling, offering convenience, safety, and flexibility. Whether you are loading animals onto a trailer or working on them in a controlled environment, our chute system is the ideal choice.
One of the key features of our chute is its open design, allowing for easy visibility and a natural flow of horses into the chute. This not only reduces stress for the animals but also enhances the overall handling process. Whether you are dealing with animals that are difficult to handle or simply lack the infrastructure to build a permanent chute system, our portable solution is the perfect answer.
Our chute is not only suitable for everyday use but also serves as a valuable tool in critical situations such as cruelty cases, emergency response, and other scenarios where safe animal handling is paramount. Additionally, veterinarians can benefit greatly from using our chute during intake exams, ensuring a secure and efficient examination process.
We understand the importance of practicality and safety when it comes to handling horses, and our portable safe animal handling chute delivers on both fronts. With its thoughtful design and ease of use, it provides a reliable solution for those in need of a versatile and effective chute system.
