Magnet For Cattle
In stock
A cow magnet (or cattle rumen magnet) is a veterinary tool administered orally to prevent hardware disease (traumatic reticuloperitonitis). It safely settles in the reticulum—one of the stomach compartments—to attract and trap stray metal debris that cattle accidentally ingest, keeping the sharp objects from perforating the stomach wall.

Specs & features.
The magnet typically measures 2 to 3 inches in length and is usually cylindrical or capsule-shaped. It is dense enough to sink past the rumen and settle permanently at the bottom of the reticulum. Modern designs range from traditional smoothed metal rods to heavy-duty magnets encased in robust, non-corrosive plastic cages or stainless steel.

- Hardware Disease Prevention: Traps ferromagnetic debris (nails, staples, wire) and neutralizes them as rogue "blades" during normal stomach contractions.
- Life-Long Protection: Remains permanently in the animal’s stomach to provide continuous protection for the cow's entire life.
- Veterinary Safe: Engineered with non-toxic materials and smooth, rounded, or grooved edges to ensure safety.
