livestock chute
Animal handling passage
A livestock chute is a narrow fenced passage that guides cattle, sheep, or other animals single-file for handling, loading, or veterinary treatment.
The confined space prevents animals from turning around or escaping while workers vaccinate, brand, or inspect them.
Squeeze chutes add adjustable sides to immobilize individual animals: We ran the calves through the chute for their shots.
