Electric Pig Herder Prodder

Product Overview

The electric pig herder is a handheld livestock prodder used to move pigs quietly and efficiently between pens, alleys and transport trucks. The product picture shows a long rod about 70 cm long attached to a handle about 26 cm long, with the grip available in yellow, orange and red colours. The unit is rechargeable, and the range notes offer five battery capacity options from 5000 mAh up to 20000 mAh, so the buyer can choose a runtime to match the size of the herd. It packs about 10 pieces per carton for wholesale orders.

The long rod lets the stockman keep a safe distance from the pig while guiding it, which reduces kicking and trampling in the alley. The handle is moulded for a firm grip, and the tip delivers a short pulse that encourages the pig to move without injuring it. Rechargeable models mean no disposable batteries are thrown away after each day, which lowers running cost on a busy farm. The range of battery capacities means a small farm can pick the 5000 mAh unit while a large transport operation can choose the 20000 mAh unit for a full day of loading without recharging between trucks.

Materials and Quality

The prodder is built around a strong rod sealed into a moulded handle with the rechargeable battery and pulse circuit inside. The handle grip is textured so it stays secure even when the stockman's hands are wet, and the tip contact point is protected so it only activates when pressed against the pig. Each unit is tested for pulse output and charge holding before packing, and the rod is checked for straightness so it does not bend during normal use. The three handle colours let a farm mark which unit belongs to which worker, which helps control tools around the farm and stops them being mixed up between workers.

How to Use and Maintain

Charge the battery fully before first use, switch on the unit, and touch the tip lightly to the pig's flank or shoulder to encourage it forward. Do not hold the pulse on one spot, and never use the prodder on a pig's head, face or genitals. Keep the contact tip clean and dry after use, and recharge the battery when the pulse weakens. Store the prodder in a dry rack off the floor, and check the rod for dents and the grip for cracks at the start of each loading season, before the autumn rush begins.

Applications

This electric pig herder is used on pig farms, assembly yards and transport loading bays to move pigs along alleys and onto trucks. The long rod is also useful in sow barns where the stockman needs to guide a large animal without getting too close. The five battery options mean the same basic unit is sold to smallholder farms and to large commercial loading crews.

Distributors stock it in yellow, orange and red grips and order by the 10-piece carton, which suits farm supply dealers and livestock equipment wholesalers. The rechargeable design and choice of capacities make it a flexible line that covers almost any customer, from a small breeder to a large loading crew. Mixed orders can combine this prodder with other pig handling tools such as sorting boards and gates in one container, which suits dealers who handle the whole pig handling range.
