Agri Health Aluminium Pig Holder Restraint Tool
Description
Agri Health Aluminium Pig Holder
The Agri Health Pig Holder is an aluminium livestock restraint tool used to hold a pig steady for short periods during routine handling. It is made for pig farmers, smallholders, stockpersons and veterinary staff who need to carry out inspections, injections, tagging or marking safely and quickly.
Aluminium construction keeps the holder light to carry and easy to control, and the simple design means there is very little to maintain beyond cleaning and a quick check before use.
