Regarding the RAU Immobilizer

During my 20 years in large animal practice I have tested and used many different immobilizers. In my opinion none are as effective and easy to use as the RAU Immobilizer. I say so for the following reasons:

1. The probe inserts with ease into the rectum, and no clips attached to the lip that bothers the animal.
2. Total immobilization of the hind legs prevents the animal from kicking, even with stitching of teats.
3. Animals show no or very little stress. We use it when giving drips and blood to very sick animals, without detrimental effects.
4. The compulsory branding of animals is done without blotching and with less pain.
5. Even difficult to handle Brahman bulls calm down after a few minutes.

 I can recommend this sturdy compact Immobilizer to any person working with cattle.

 Thank you,
