Calf puller

Description

Calving puller

During Calf birth, a calf can be pulled safely by the hand by correcting any abnormality in position. However sometimes, a mechanical calf puller may be needed. It is a device specially designed to assist in calf-birth. The main body is capable of moving back and forth with the help of the handle and is designed with premium quality Stainless Steel. There is also a provision to tie the apparatus with the animal using a rope or belt at the front end.

The calf-puller has a very functional design, is wholly constructed in stainless steel, very robust and practically indestructible which ensures a long and trouble-free service.

Advantages of calving puller

• It is impossible to slip away from the cow
• It is the only single-handed calf-puller
• It permits pulling tension straight, upwards for posterior presentation and also downwards in the direction of the udder for a normal birth.

It has a heavy-duty and durable construction, designed to last long. Also, if the birth becomes complicated the traction can be released immediately without causing any complication in the birth or any harm to the calf. Further, Dystocia related problems could also be avoided, by ensuring the right method of pulling the Calf.

This calf-puller is easy to handle.

• The rump frame is placed over the cow’s rear with the open end towards the backbone.
• Then the ropes are attached to both calf’s legs and to the lever mechanism in that order.
• Now gently tension the ropes and it will adopt the correct position whether the cow is standing up or lying down.
• The calf puller cannot slip out of position. It leaves both hands free to assist the cow and calf.

During a normal presentation

• One should draw downwards in the direction of the udder until the head is born and then in a horizontal line.
• When the calf pelvis threatens to lock in the cow’s pelvis one should draw more in the direction of the udder.

In the case of a posterior presentation

• The draw should be upwards the tail until the legs are born and then change to a horizontal line.

The quick release

• Depressed catches the same hand pushes the whole lever mechanism towards the cow. The handle will swing forward and automatically release catch D. Do not press the handle.  If the ropes are too taut, ease the handle backwards to allow catch C to be released more easily.

Other Features

It is available with standard traction as well as alternate traction

• The lever mechanism of the calf-puller with standard traction is equipped with 2 hooks which will be drawn backwards at the same time when pulling the handle backwards.
• The lever mechanism of the calf-puller with alternate traction is equipped with 2 hooks which will be drawn backwards one by one when pulling the handle backwards.

The pole can be moved sideways maximum 30 degrees, however, a move sideways of more than 30 degrees can damage the apparatus. Always take care to ensure sufficient room around the cow during the delivery, since this renders sideways movement of the pole unnecessary.
