What's the procedure to "deliver" the magnet? Surgery? Sedation?
- userbinator 11y agoLet the cow eat it, like it would the other things the magnet is supposed to protect against.
- ezequiel-garzon 11y agoThanks for your answer. I imagine you must control this, no? Too many magnets would probably be harmful. Also, they may be fairly larger than what cows usually eats. Do you know for a fact it's done like this?
- bborud 11y agoI can confirm this is how it is done. (I've done it a few times myself) The one I used looks a bit like this one: http://www.kruuse.com/en/ecom/Hest_produktionsdyr/Vommagneter_indgiver/prod_142070.aspx http://www.kruuse.com/en/ecom/Hest_produktionsdyr/Vommagnete...
- louithethrid 11y agoThere was a drencher for calves i had to use. On the instruction diagram on the side, everyone smiled, the farmer, the calf, a happy little world of forced feeding.

- __bb 11y agoIt's a sort of plastic plunger. You load the caged magnet into the plunger and stick it in the back of the cows mouth. Press the plunger and the cow swallows it. Kind of like giving your pet a tablet, but bigger.
