Cow Magnets

Additional Details

Cow magnets are used as a preventive veterinary product for Traumatic Reticula Peritonitis (popularly known as Hardware Disease). While grazing, cows eat everything from grass and dirt to nails, staples and bits of bailing wire (referred to as tramp iron) Tramp iron tends to lodge in the honeycombed walls of the reticulum, threatening the surrounding vital organs and causing irritation and inflammation, known as Hardware Disease. The cow loses her appetite and decreases her milk output (dairy cows), or her ability to gain weight (feeder stock).
