Cow Magnets | Magnetic Product Import from China
What are cow magnets?
Cow magnets are also known as rumen magnets. They are used in the rumen of a cow. Farmers use it to prevent hardware disease of their cows. Cows “eat” the magnets to keep themselves healthy so that they can be more productive at generating milk. The practice of farmers feeding magnets to their cows has been around for decades. The demand for this type of magnets are huge in agriculturally developed countries.
A dairy farmer or rancher feeds a magnet with tube; the magnet stays in the rumen or reticulum and remains inside for the lifetime of the animal. The magnet is administered after fasting the cow for around 20 hours. Generally, this is done to the entire herd before the age of one because this will be the most effective.
