Do you know where the "flight zone" is?
(NC)-Understanding the flight zone and point of balance for handling live-
stock can reduce stress to livestock and help prevent injuries to handlers.
The "flight zone" is the animal's personal space and can be determined by
slowly walking up to the animal. When a person enters the flight zone, the ani-2
mal will move away in the opposite direction. Deeply invading the flight zone
will cause the 4nimal to become afraid and possibly agitated. The size of the
flight zone will diminish as the animal receives frequent, gentle handling.
An animars."point of balance" is in the chest area. To make an animal move
forward, the handler should stand behind the point of balance; and, likewise
to cause the animal to back up, the handler should stand in front of the point
of balance.
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture along with Farm Credit Canada, the
Canadian Coalition for Agricultural Safety and Rural Health, and Agriculture
and Agri-Food Canada want to encourage farmers to practise Livestock han-
dling safety: Put your best foot forward.
Farm Safety Means Farm Safely.
