This usually results in an infection of the abdominal cavity followed by an inflammatory response. The organs surrounding the reticulum can also be traumatised by this. The early administration of a magnet to a cow suspected of having a foreign body can lead to recovery of the animal within two to three days. If the animal is not treated, the foreign body can migrate and cause peritonitis, which can lead to a total loss of the animal. Even the preventative administration of a magnet has proven successful.

Cage Magnets: Effective Protection Against Foreign Bodies
When eating on the pasture or at the feed barrier, cattle often swallow metallic foreign bodies such as nails, screws, or pieces of wire without noticing. These sharp objects travel into the digestive tract and can pierce the stomach wall or, in the worst case, the heart. A cage magnet administered in good time safely collects these dangerous parts in the reticulum and prevents life-threatening injuries.
How Protection from the Inside Works
The principle of the magnet is simple but extremely effective. Pay attention to the following when choosing:
- Safe Casing: A robust plastic cage around the magnetic core prevents the sharp, attracted metal parts from touching the sensitive stomach wall.
- High Attraction Force: Strong magnets permanently hold even heavier or multiple pieces of metal so that they do not migrate further.
- Animal-Friendly Shape: A rounded shape makes it easier to swallow without problems using a suitable applicator and reduces stress during administration.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I give my cattle a magnet?
As a preventive measure, it is recommended to administer it to all animals at risk, especially before they are driven onto pastures or if metallic contamination is suspected in the feed.
How long does the magnet stay in the animal?
The magnet usually remains in the cow's reticulum for life. Due to its solid core, it is heavy enough to lie permanently at the bottom there and do its job.
