    A novel, cost-effective exercise device for training large animals like swine was developed. This simple, circular track system efficiently trains multiple animals simultaneously, reducing labor needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Agricultural Engineering
    • Veterinary Medicine

    Background:

    • Effective exercise regimens are crucial for livestock health and welfare.
    • Current methods for training large animals can be labor-intensive and costly.
    • There is a need for accessible and efficient training solutions in animal husbandry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and construction of a new exercise training device for large animals.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and advantages of the developed training system.
    • To present preliminary findings on the use of the device for training pigs.

    Main Methods:

    • A circular, enclosed track was constructed using plywood and metal fencing.
    • A variable-speed DC motor powered a central rotating shaft with four suspended partitions.

  • The device was designed to accommodate and guide multiple animals in synchronized movement.

    • Main Results:

    • The device is simple to construct, maintain, and operate.
    • It allows for the simultaneous training of up to eight animals by a single operator.
    • Preliminary studies indicate successful application in training pigs.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed device offers a cost-effective and flexible solution for large animal exercise training.
    • This innovation has the potential to improve animal welfare and management practices.
    • Further research will explore optimized training protocols and broader applications.
