French term

harnais buccal

French to English Tech/Engineering Livestock / Animal Husbandry
I am translating a document that describes the various tasks for the position of Farm Technician. One of them is moving cows. Context: "...notamment lorsque la vache résiste au déplacement. Le travailleur doit alors maintenir fermement les sangles du harnais buccal de la vache, avec la possibilité de réaliser des efforts maximaux…” Any ideas as to what a "harnais buccal" is would be appreciated. TIA

Halter or headcollar? These are not the same and both are used in the UK. A halter is like a simplified bridle without a bit or reins and with a ring under the chin to fasten a rope. A headcollar is essentially two loops, one goes round the neck and the other round the muzzle. A headcollar gives less control and is used more for attaching an animal in a stall, for turning out in a field or for leading a reasonably compliant animal. Halters and headcollars may be made of rope, webbing or leather.

Don't believe everything you read in Wikipedia "Halter" is perfectly normal in UK English and widely used in the livestock industry.

halter/head collar Halter is definitely US; head collar is British
Wendy Streitparth Jun 16, 2016:
I was surprised to read that cow halter is US English and head collar is supposed to be BE. I would automatically call it a halter (in BE).

harnais buccal A quick Google search on the above term indicates that it is generally a sex toy! The usual French term for a bridle is "bride".

depending on what you Need US English or British E.:

A halter (US) or headcollar (UK) is headgear that is used to lead or tie up livestock and, occasionally, other animals; it fits behind the ears (behind the poll), and ...

and depending on the occasion this object may consist of a rope only.

neutral B D Finch : The Wikipedia article is wrong about "halter (US) or headcollar (UK)." As several of us have noted, both terms are used in the UK and with good reason, because there is a difference between them.

Reference:

"A halter based on pressure and release, this halter is a great tool for teaching horses to be more respectful and excellent for teaching horses to lead & load. This halter is made of 8mm braid on braid marine rope; this enables the quick release that is necessary for teaching horses to give to pressure. It also comes with a training DVD.
At no time are you to ever tie your horse up in this halter. If you need to tie up then use it over a headcollar"

'“I don’t use normal headcollars because they don’t give the required control and I find many horses have become unresponsive to them,” he explains. “Once the horse is listening to me on the training halter, I’ll use an ordinary horseman’s halter, but if I start with one of those I often find the horse’s response times are slower.”'
