Jourdain headlocks represent the pinnacle of cow management in shed environments, offering unmatched quality, durability, and functionality. These headlocks are meticulously designed with features tailored to meet the demands of modern farmers.
One standout feature is the ability to link up to 6 panels together, simplifying animal catching and release process, therefore saving valuable time for the farmer. Made from galvanised steel and high quality plastic components, all locking components ensure durability and corrosion resistance. Moreover, a plastic coating on the steel reduces noise levels, contributing to a calmer environment for the livestock.
Safety is paramount, with a built-in mechanism allowing for easy release of animals to prevent choking hazards in case of falls or entanglements. Additionally, a calf/heifer guard effectively closes off small gaps, reducing the risk of injuries to smaller animals.
The headlocks offer flexibility with adjustable collar widths, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for animals of varying sizes. Additionally, the steel undergoes a hot-dipped galvanisation process in line with ISO9002 quality management standards, ensuring reliability and longevity.
Operators benefit from the convenience of releasing animals collectively or individually, providing flexibility in handling procedures. The handle controlling the locking mechanism features two positions – lock and feed – easily controlled by pulling a red safety catch and rotating 180 degrees. This ergonomic design enhances usability and efficiency in daily operations.
