Rumen Magnet

Rumen Magnets are used to protect cows from harmful ferrous materials that they may inadvertently ingest while grazing. Rumen magnets 'capture' wires or fine metal material and thus prevent damage to the rumen and reticulum, and abscess formation and complications associated with wire migration. Wires and foreign bodies in the reticulum can cause discomfort and loss of production. Cow magnets are popular with dairy farmers and veterinarians to help prevent hardware disease in cattle.
