Livestock / Animal Husbandry / lamb/sheep equipment
English term or phrase: "lamb adopters"
it seems to be a set of compartments, one mother and one lamb in each. Not sure from pictures and other research, but in some cases at least, they keep the mother's head in a certain position so that she can't push the lamb away if he wants to feed and she wants to reject him. But I don't know if it has other functions.

The context was about how a particular disinfectant is ideal to clean various equipments in the sheep industry, and the lamb adopters were just one of the pieces of equipment mentioned. It was in a brochure which will be used both at point of sale, and with the product when it is bought by a customer.

Explanation:
"Méthode de la contrainte

Cette méthode empêche la brebis de voir ou de sentir ni son propre agneau ni l’agneau à adopter. La brebis est placée dans une espèce de case lui permettant de se lever et de se coucher mais ne lui permettant pas de tourner la tête. La brebis ne sachant pas lequel est son agneau permet au deux agneaux de téter. Après deux ou trois jours elle finit par accepter le nouvel agneau comme le sien. "
