Cow Magnets
Now before we run into the details of cow magnets, like how it is produced, what are the components in it, why is it used for cows, and why it has such a weird name, we have to first know what exactly is a Cow Magnet.
What is a Cow Magnet?
A Cow Magnet is an eco-friendly and permanent magnet that’s the only purpose is to remove iron components from a cow’s body. It also contains essential minerals which keep them in good health. These kinds of magnets are very popular among farmers and veterinarians, and ranchers who use this in their cattle to prevent hardware disease which even sometimes leads to the cow’s death.
Composition of Cow Magnet
The most important thing to keep in mind while buying a cow magnet is to check whether the minerals used in it are toxic or not because that can be very dangerous to the cow’s health. This is the reason nowadays most of the cow magnets are made up of Ferrous Oxide (FeO) and stable Strontium (Sr) which have been proved healthy and safe for the cow’s body. Along with this, the magnet is also coated with valuable minerals which are very useful for cows and cattle. The cow magnet has no sharp edges to protect the cow’s interior from cuts and scratches and also it is in a form of a finger-sized shaped pill that can be consumed easily by cows. Cylinder Cow Magnet
What is Hardware Disease?
Now to understand the proper functioning of the cow magnet you have to first know what is Hardware Disease. You might be wondering what exactly is hardware disease since I have already mentioned it earlier. Well, it’s a common term for bovine traumatic reticulopericarditis and it is usually caused by the direct ingestion of sharp metallic object which becomes very difficult to digest and thus leading to that disease.

How Hardware Disease is Caused
After our machines finish working on the field, small pieces of iron nails and iron fillings are left scattered. Now, since cattle do not completely chew their food before swallowing they couldn’t differentiate between food substances and metals. Therefore, these sharp metallic objects like nails and wire are easily swallowed which are extremely dangerous for the animals. Generally, these small and sharp iron pieces, scratch the intestines and stomach, and the iron gets rusted which results in poisoning. But in some severe cases, when the objects travel through the rumen and pushed along the reticulum with the rest of the food, it moves into the peritoneal wall and causes severe inflammation. In a few rare cases, it has also been seen that the metal object penetrates the entire wall of the reticulum and then pierces the heart sac, which causes pericarditis.

Result of Hardware Disease
The Hardware Disease has resulted in the death of several cows and other cattle in the past few decades. Now in mild condition, the cow generally loses her appetite and decreases her milk output, along with losing the ability to gain weight. This can be treated in its early stages by using antibiotics or a surgery that involves physically removing the object. But why should we waste so much money on surgery and make our animals suffer if we can prevent it beforehand.
How to Prevent Hardware Disease
Now to prevent hardware disease which risks the lives of the cows, we can use Cow Magnets to reduce the risk of Hardware disease. Calves when they are about six months old have a major change in their diet and that is the time when they shift from sucking their mother’s milk to feeding on grass. But unknowingly they feed on small metallic things which can lead to harmful consequences. The cow magnet which is a kind of veterinary equipment is used to prevent such life-threatening disease among cattle. It is a ferrite magnet and has curved edges which can be easily swallowed.
The mineral-rich cow magnet is pushed down the cow’s throat and due to its proper ratio of weight and size, it remains in the first stomach. Then the magnet collects all the metallic substances and prevents them from going down into the more sensitive portion of the cow’s second, third, and fourth stomach. The magnet even holds the metals in such a way that its sharp edges of the magnet are covered by the round and smooth edges of the magnet.
