The horizontal fixing rods are arranged at the top of the vertical fixing rods. According to the size of the livestock, the electric push rod 18 is telescopically adjusted to adjust the length of the four vertical fixing rods to adjust the height of the main cage body 1. The electric push rod 18 is telescopically adjusted to adjust the length of the four horizontal fixing rods to adjust the width and length of the main cage body 1, so that the main cage body 1 can be suitable for livestock of different sizes. In this embodiment, an opening is provided on the side wall of the outer tube 16, and its size matches that of the inner rod 17 for inserting the inner rod 17. When the electric push rod 18 lifts the inner rod 17, the inner rod 17 is pushed out from the opening and inserted into the opening of the outer tube 16 on the upper side, and continues to rise, thereby completing the telescopic adjustment of the fixed rod.

[0037] The fixing mechanism 12 is used to limit and fix the abdomen of the livestock. The fixing mechanism 12 is suspended on the top of the main cage body 1. The fixing mechanism 12 includes an arc-shaped air cushion 13. The arc-shaped air cushion 13 includes a first air cushion and a second air cushion. The first air cushion and the second air cushion are movably connected to form an annular fixing cushion.

[0047] Preferably, metal support plates 10 are provided on both sides of the main cage body 1 in the width direction. The metal support plates 10 are welded to both sides of the main cage body 1 at a certain angle to support and fix the cage device.

[0048] Working principle: When it is necessary to trim the feet of a horse or weld horseshoes, the horse should be tied to a fixed position to remove the old horseshoes and replace them with new ones. The steps for replacing horseshoes using this device are as follows: ① When a car or large livestock drags the livestock cage device to a fixed position, the main cage body 1 does not move; ② After removing the rivet 7, the pulling plate 9 is pulled forward by the car or large livestock through the pulling tire 6. Since the main cage body 1 is hinged with the L-shaped connecting frame 11, the L-shaped connecting frame can rotate relative to the main cage body 1. As the pulling plate 9 and the L-shaped connecting frame 11 move forward, the main cage body 1 ③ The livestock is led into the main cage body 1, and the livestock enters the main cage body 1 from the first clamping mechanism 2. When entering, the first clamping stick 22 is not installed to facilitate the entry of the livestock. At this time, the height, width and length of the main cage body 1 can be adjusted according to the size of the livestock by the controller controlling the electric push rod 18 to telescope and adjust, so as to complete the overall positioning of the livestock; ④ The first air cushion and the second air cushion are connected to the annular fixing cushion to wrap and fix the torso of the livestock, which has a stabilizing effect on the livestock. The inflatable device inflates it, and the expanded arc-shaped air cushion 13 is used to further stabilize the livestock. ⑤ Install the first positioning rod 22 into the positioning hole 23, and the hind legs of the livestock can be fixed on the first positioning rod 22 by a rope, and use the rope to tie the front legs of the horse to the triangular pedal 34 of the vertical positioning rod 33. In this embodiment, a buffer air cushion can be set on the first positioning rod 22 and the vertical positioning rod 33, and it can be inflated by an inflating device to avoid direct contact between the legs and feet of the livestock and the first positioning rod 22 and the vertical positioning rod 33, so as to avoid damage to them during the binding process; ⑥ Then, the horse's feet Repair, remove the old horseshoe and replace it with a new one. In this embodiment, two pull-out drawers are set on the side wall of the fixed plate 5. Various tools for replacing horseshoes are placed in one drawer, and the trimmed horseshoe debris can be collected in the other drawer; ⑦ While trimming the hooves, the livestock is comprehensively checked using the vital signs detection device. The height, weight, body temperature and heart rate of the livestock can be displayed in real time on the display 4, and the controller can also record the information. Every time the livestock enters the livestock cage, it can be compared with the previous information data to observe its growth and health status. The entire device is easy to operate and use, which is conducive to rapid large-scale and standardized application in the market, and is convenient for improving livestock breeding efficiency.
