Agri Health Pig Flapper Livestock Handling Paddle
Description
Agri Health Pig Flapper - Move Stock Calmly With Sound, Not Force
The Agri Health Pig Flapper is a hand-held livestock handling aid used to move pigs and other farm animals. Animals are driven without pain by its loud noise, making it best for farmers, stockpeople and smallholders who need to sort, load or pen stock calmly.
It is a simple, no-fuss tool for everyday yard work: guiding pigs along a race, splitting groups, walking animals up a trailer ramp or moving them between pens. Because it relies on sound rather than contact, it fits well into low-stress stock handling routines and can be used alongside a stock board or gate.
