This aluminum handling hurdle has two panels, each about 24" by 18" and hinged in the middle to accommodate variable widths of the alley. As the handler moves toward the pigs slowly and quietly, the pigs move away from what they see as a solid barrier. Gentle movement minimizes stress, optimizes animal well being, and thereby improves animal productivity.
