Product Information
Full details
The Agrihealth Wire Pig Holder by Kamer is an essential tool designed for livestock managers and farmers who require a safe, secure method for restraining pigs during medical procedures, tagging, or inspections. Its primary benefit is the reliable, self-locking restraint mechanism that keeps both the handler and the animal safe by providing a firm, steady hold. While this tool offers exceptional durability, users should note that consistent maintenance and proper handling techniques are required to avoid excessive tension that could potentially cause stress or injury to the animal during prolonged use.

FAQs
What is the maximum cable length?
The cable provided with this model is 80cm in length.
Can this be used on other animals?
The holder is specifically designed for porcine anatomy; use on other species is not recommended.
Is the handle comfortable for long periods?
The handle features a wide, ergonomic rubber grip specifically designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
How do I release the lock?
The device is designed with a release trigger mechanism; simply depress or pull the release lever to slacken the cable.
Does the wire cable need special storage?
Keep it stored in a dry location, away from harsh chemicals, to prevent premature degradation of the steel wire.
Is this tool suitable for large boars?

Troubleshooting
Locking mechanism feels stiff or sticks.
Clear any debris from the locking housing and apply a light food-grade lubricant to the moving parts.
Cable seems loose after locking.
Ensure the loop is properly seated within the housing before pulling the handle to engage the self-locking mechanism.
Surface rust appearing on the cable.
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to gently remove surface oxidation, then wipe clean and apply a thin layer of machine oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your pig holder, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Pre-Use Inspection: Always check the wire noose for signs of fraying or kinks before every use.
- Cleaning: Wash the tool with water and a mild disinfectant after contact with livestock to prevent the spread of pathogens and to minimize rust on the steel components.
- Storage: Store the device in a dry, well-ventilated area to protect the steel cable from corrosion.
- Application: Place the noose around the upper jaw behind the tusks (if present) and pull the handle to engage the lock. Do not over-tighten, as excessive force can cause trauma.
