A cow magnet is a large magnetic pill (2 1/2" long x 1" thick) that is put into a cow's stomach (specifically the reticulum). It collects any screws, bolts, nails or wire or anything else the cow may pick up along with the feed she eats. Magnets prevent what is called "hardwire disease," which is a malady that occurs when a foreign object punctures the stomach wall (primarily the reticulum), and bacteria enter from either outside or inside the cow's stomach causing infection, weight loss, and loss of appetite. The magnet keeps all of the hardware together in one spot when the reticulum contracts as the animal eats.
