牲畜护栏, 牛栏
a gridded metal or concrete structure embedded in the road surface to prevent livestock from crossing
A cattle guard is a type of barrier placed across roads or driveways to prevent livestock, such as cows or sheep, from crossing. It consists of a series of metal bars or pipes spaced apart, which are arranged in a way that makes it difficult for animals to walk over or through them. The design allows vehicles to pass easily, but the gaps between the bars prevent animals from stepping on or crossing the guard. Cattle guards are commonly used in rural areas, farms, and ranches, where roads pass through areas with free-roaming livestock, ensuring that animals remain safely contained.
