Bovine Restraining Cages Maréchalle-Pesage & Andrieu

The restraining cage is the central equipment for working safely, reducing animal stress, and saving time during handling (vaccination, blood sampling, care, sorting, occasional interventions). A properly restrained animal is calmer, the intervention is quicker, and the risks (kicks, sudden movements) are significantly reduced.

At Terwagne-élevage.com, we have selected two brands recognized for their “field” design and robustness: Maréchalle-Pesage and Andrieu.

Why choose a quality restraining cage?

Good restraint is not just about “blocking”: it’s about guiding, immobilizing, and securing without overstressing the animal.

Benefits for the farmer

• Safer work (reduction of hits, jostling, risky situations)
• Quicker and smoother handling (care, treatment, control)
• Better daily ergonomics (animal access, doors, tailored options)

Benefits for animals

• Stable maintenance, more serene intervention (better well-being)

Maréchalle-Pesage: restraint designed for “care + weighing”

Maréchalle-Pesage highlights complete restraining solutions (cage + park/corridor) with a structured range (restraint, trimming, weighing, identification).

Typical strengths (depending on models)

• Animal comfort and stability for safer restraint
• Operator protection (safe work and care)
• Possibility of painted or galvanized according to the environment
• On weighing cages: double-swing front/rear doors, tread plate flooring, options (rubber mat, width reducer), and movement by 3-point hitch (depending on the model)

👉 Ideal if you’re looking for a “versatile” solution: restraint + preparation for weighing, and a coherent range logic.

Andrieu: a range designed with users, integrable in corridor/park

Andrieu emphasizes equipment designed with breeders, for comfort and safety, suitable for cattle sizes, with a “system” approach (cages + corridors + pushers).

Typical strengths (depending on models / Master range)

• Robustness and simple use, designed for beef cattle farming
• Direct integration with restraining corridors and Andrieu pushers
• Available in manual or hydraulic version (depending on needs)
• Generally galvanized manufacturing (with finish possibilities depending on configuration)

👉 Ideal if you want a coherent and scalable “park/corridor/cage” set, designed to organize an animal flow.

How to choose your restraining cage?

Before adding to cart, ask yourself these 5 questions (we help if needed):

1. Type of farming: suckler, dairy, mixed, “strong” sizes? (useful width, clamping, options)
2. Main use: quick care / sorting / weighing / regular technical interventions
3. Frequency of use: occasional vs intensive (comfort/automation level)
4. Mobility: fixed in the building or need to move (3-point hitch / modularity depending on models)
5. Environment: humidity, outdoors → interest of galvanized (durability)
