A boar cart for carrying a boar through alleyways of a sow insemination
area for interaction with the sows during insemination is formed by a cage
for containing the boar including a cage floor on which the boar stands,
two sides each defined by vertical bars on a respective side of a
longitudinal center line of the cage assembly for confining the boar so
that the boar is maintained extending longitudinally of the cage, a front
and a rear defined by vertical bars, at least one of which can be opened
as a door to allow entry and exit. The cage is mounted on rear driving
wheels and front steering/caster wheels. The cage is defined by a front
portion and a rear portion connected together for pivotal articulated
movement about one or two pivot couplings defining a vertical pivot axis
arranged substantially at the center line such that the cage can
articulate to the left and to the right for navigating left and right
corners in the alleyways while the boar is retained in the cage. The
length of the cage is reduced by bowing the front and rear bars. The front
steering wheels can be set to direct the steering slightly to the left or
right so as to tend to guide the cage along one or other side of the alley
where it has rollers to run along a rail and hold the boar close to the
sows on one side.
