[0002] In modern pig breeding production, efficient individual identification management of pigs is the basis for ensuring efficient production. Using ear tags to uniquely identify individual pigs is currently the most common and effective method. However, in actual operation, pigs usually show strong activity and are difficult to maintain a fixed posture, so catching pigs becomes the key to attaching ear tags. The process of catching pigs is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to cause a group stress response in the pig herd. Traditional fixing methods often require the cooperation of multiple operators, which not only has a high labor cost but also has problems such as unstable operation and low efficiency. Therefore, designing a device that can quickly fix pigs and simplify the ear-tagging process has become an urgent technical problem to be solved, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce the stress impact on pigs.

Positioning doors are arranged on both the front and rear sides of the device main body. A fixed baffle is arranged on the left side of the device main body. A limiting door is arranged on the right side of the device main body. The positioning door is slidably connected to the side wall of the device main body through a first sliding mechanism. Both sides of the limiting door are slidably connected to both sides of the device main body through a second sliding mechanism. An operation hole is arranged on the limiting door.

[0005] Preferably, the first sliding mechanism includes positioning door tracks arranged at the top and bottom of both sides of the device main body, and the positioning door and the device main body are traction-connected through a traction spring.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the device main body is open, and positioning door closing buttons matched with the traction spring are arranged on both sides of the top of the device main body.

[0007] Preferably, the second sliding mechanism includes limiting door tracks arranged on the side closer to the positioning door tracks, and both sides of the limiting door are slidably connected to the limiting door tracks.

The positioning doors 2 are slidably connected to the side walls of the device main body 1 through a first sliding mechanism. A positioning door pulling handle 9 is arranged on the outer side of the positioning door 2. Both sides of the limiting door 4 are slidably connected to both sides of the device main body 1 through a second sliding mechanism. An oval operation hole 11 is arranged on the limiting door 4. The edge of the operation hole 11 is rounded to prevent damage to the pig's skin during the operation, facilitating the operator to accurately and quickly complete the ear-tagging operation. A limiting door pulling handle 10 is arranged below the operation hole 11. Pushing and pulling the limiting door 4 realizes the adjustment of the internal space of the device main body 1.

[0034] The first sliding mechanism includes positioning door tracks 5 arranged at the top and bottom of both sides of the device main body 1, and the positioning door 2 and the device main body 1 are traction-connected through a traction spring 6.
