INHIBITION OF CRIB-BITING
There is provided a method of inhibiting an animal from biting the wood structure of a stable or a wooden fence which comprises embedding in legths of the wood at a height at which the animal can bite them, a thin metal wire of from 0.5 to 2 mm thickness, connecting the embedded wire to an earthed return voltage source to produce an electric voltage of from 5 to 30 volts so that when the electrical circuit is earthed through the mouth of the animal, through the animal and to the ground or stable floor a weak electrical current flows through the circuit.
