A fixing rod is sleeved inside the limiting groove, and the fixing rod passes through one of the limiting holes and is inserted into the inside of the limiting groove.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, a livestock retainer that adopts the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In use, the staff pulls the livestock into the fixing frame, ensuring one side of the livestock is close to the load-bearing plate. Then, one limb of the livestock is placed into the first retaining ring. The second retaining ring is rotated using a hinge to bring the two fixing blocks into contact. A bolt is then inserted through the fixing hole and connected to the internal thread of the fixing groove, thus fixing the first and second retaining rings together and securing one limb of the livestock. The same procedure is then repeated to secure the other three limbs of the livestock. During livestock care, the soft padding on the inner walls of the first and second retaining rings reduces pressure on the livestock's legs, preventing the livestock from moving around due to leg pressure during the examination. After securing the animal's four limbs, the worker starts the drive motor via a control button. The motor rotates the load-bearing plate, and when it reaches the desired position, the worker stops the motor and inserts two fixing rods through corresponding limit holes and into the limit slots to secure the load-bearing plate and prevent it from wobbling during inspection. With the load-bearing plate fixed, the worker can perform a thorough inspection of the animal. The rotatable load-bearing plate allows for easy adjustment of the animal's position, eliminating the need for the worker to squat down when inspecting the abdomen, thus improving the device's convenience.
[0014] Second, during use, since one end of the buckle is connected to the retractable belt, the worker can pull the buckle and pass it through the animal's body, engaging it with the female buckle. The action of the buckle and the female buckle further secures the animal's body. During the animal's rotation, the resistance of the retractable belt keeps the animal stably fixed to the load-bearing plate, preventing unnecessary injury. During animal inspection, the resistance from the first and second locking rings and the retractable belt prevents the animal from being startled and moving around, thus preventing injury to the worker from the animal's movement.
