With the RAU Animal Immobilizer, you can completely immobilize an animal. The RAU Animal Immobilizer generates a low-level electrical pulse, which stimulates the animal's natural nervous system's response to motor muscle constriction, with out affecting breathing, heart or vital organs.
As long as the pulse is applied, the animal can't move any muscle, so remains frozen in place. That means no head-jerking while dehorning and no kicking while castrating or trimming hooves. The results can be fewer injuries to animal and handler, fewer bent & broken needles, more accurate injections so less damage to muscle tissue. Field trials have shown no negative effects from the immobilizer, even on pregnant animals at any stage of pregnancy.

After many years of scientific research one product has proven itself to be the most effective time and labor saving device on the market. The RAU Animal Immobilizer is a self-contained, portable, electronic pulse generator that is used for the effective immobilization of cattle. It has been in operation in various parts of the world for the past eight years with great results.
QM Distributors, a distributor of high quality veterinarian and farming products, has brought the Immobilizer to the US market. We feel that the Immobilizer is a critical piece of equipment for any veterinarian or large animal handler that is concerned for their own, and their animals' safety.
The primary use of the Immobilizer is for electronic restraint of cattle during branding, de-horning, castration, hoof trimming or anyother minor treatment procedures. The Immobilizer has also been used successfully on horses, sheep, hogs, goats and other exotics such as buffalo and elk.
The RAU Animal Immobilizer generates a low-level electrical pulse, which stimulates the animal natural nervous system response to motor muscle constriction, without affecting breathing, heart or other vital organs. As long as the pulse is applied, the animal can not move any muscles, so remains frozen in place. That means no head-jerking while dehorning and no kicking while castrating or trimming hooves.
The most important feature of the unit is that once the rectal probe is removed, the animal returns to normal with no after effects. The immobilization is not stressful to the animals, and to date, field trials have shown no negative effects, even on pregnant animals at any stage of pregnancy. This ensures that you can maintain the highest quality and safety standards for the herd.
More recent breakthroughs, have been in the field of artificial insemination and embryo work. With the use of the mini-probe (an additional accessory), the animal is sufficiently immobilized to quickly pass the straw of semen to successfully inseminate the animal.
