Agri Health Steel Pig Holder for Livestock Handling
Description
Agri Health Steel Pig Holder — Controlled Restraint for Routine Husbandry
The Agri Health Steel Pig Holder is a steel, snare-style restraint that holds a pig briefly and securely while you carry out routine handling tasks. It is made for pig keepers, stockpersons, smallholders and hobby farmers who need a safe, controlled hold for jobs such as inspection, ear tagging, weighing, dosing and general husbandry.
Built from steel for repeated use in a working environment, it is operated with one hand, leaving your other hand free for the task itself. Best for short-duration restraint during everyday farm procedures rather than prolonged holding.

How to Use
- Check the holder before use — the handle and moving parts should operate smoothly with no bending or cracking.
- Move the pig calmly into a pen, race or corner where it can be approached quietly.
- Apply the holder as intended for the animal's size, keeping your grip steady and controlled.
- Tighten only as much as needed to hold the pig still — never more than the task requires.
- Carry out the procedure promptly with your free hand, or have a second person assist with larger pigs.
- Release the animal as soon as you have finished, then rinse, dry and store the holder.
FAQ
What is a pig holder used for?
It is a restraint tool that holds a pig briefly and securely so routine husbandry tasks — inspection, ear tagging, weighing, dosing or minor treatment — can be carried out safely and with minimal fuss.
What is the Agri Health Pig Holder made from?
Steel, chosen for strength and repeated use in a working farm or smallholding environment.
Can one person use it alone?
It is designed for single-handed operation, so one person can hold the animal and work with the free hand. For larger or stronger pigs, a second person is recommended for safety.
How long should a pig be held?
Only for as long as the task takes. Apply the minimum hold needed, work quickly and quietly, and release the animal as soon as the procedure is complete.
How do I look after it?
Rinse after use, dry thoroughly to protect the steel, and store somewhere dry. Inspect the handle and moving parts before each use and stop using it if anything is bent, cracked or stiff.
Is it suitable for a small smallholding with just a few pigs?
Yes. It is equally at home on a commercial pig unit or a hobby farm keeping a handful of pigs, wherever routine handling is needed.
