They are used to prevent any metal objects from penetrating the reticuloruminal lining. If any sharp objects (like nails and wire) do penetrate the stomach wall, this will invite infection and cause the cow to get extremely ill.
Magnets are only used for those cows that are fed feed that tends to have a lot of metal junk in it, or are grazed in pastures with lots of metal junk in it. For cows that are grazed in clean pastures and are given clean hay, silage and straw, magnets are not necessary.

What is the major difference between a tiger and a cow?
Their diet I suppose. The Cow is strictly herbaceous, while the Tiger is carnivorous by nature. On the Lighter Side: * It is oh so much easier to milk a cow than a tiger. * The answer becomes apparent when you walk up behind each and twist their tails * Cows are omnivorous (and none too bright).
