The Cow Immobilizer, also known as the Anti Kick Bar, is an essential tool in the dairy industry, designed to ensure the safety of both the animals and the handlers during milking. These devices are robust and galvanized, catering to different animal sizes, and are instrumental in preventing cows from kicking, which can be a risk during the milking process. The use of such bars involves placing them around the cow's legs, above the hocks, to restrict movement without causing the animal distress or discomfort. It's important to use these bars correctly to avoid any potential harm; they should fit comfortably and be secured in place to minimize movement. With proper use, these tools can make the milking process smoother and safer for everyone involved. Selecting the appropriate Cow Immobilizer, or Anti Kick Bar, involves considering several factors to ensure the safety and comfort of the cattle during procedures like milking, branding, or medical treatments. Firstly, assess the size and breed of the cattle, as these factors can influence the type of immobilizer needed. It's crucial to choose a device that is adjustable and fits comfortably to prevent any distress to the animals. Additionally, look for immobilizers made from durable, high-quality materials to ensure longevity and effectiveness. It's also important to consider the ease of use for the handler and the immobilizer's compatibility with existing farm equipment. Always prioritize devices that have been tested and proven safe for use on animals, including pregnant cows, and ensure they do not negatively impact the animal's well-being during or after use. Lastly, consult with a veterinarian or an experienced cattle handler for recommendations on the best immobilizer for your specific needs and circumstances.  Free-running springs with 3⁄8˝ (9 mm) pin and the 45° offset of the hole series ensure ergonomic length adjustment and prevent inadvertent opening.
