Bovimax Cow Magnet Applicator for Cattle
Description
Bovimax Cow Magnet Applicator - Controlled, Hands-Clear Magnet Dosing
The Bovimax Cow Magnet Applicator is a hand-held farm tool that places a cow magnet over the back of a bovine's tongue so the animal can swallow it cleanly. It is made for dairy and beef farmers, stockpersons and smallholders who give cow magnets as part of routine herd health management.
Its long shaft keeps your hand away from the molars while the shaped head grips the magnet until you release it at the back of the throat. Best for anyone dosing several animals in a session who wants a faster, calmer and safer alternative to dosing by hand. The applicator is sold on its own - cow magnets are bought separately.

FAQ
Does the Bovimax Cow Magnet Applicator come with a cow magnet?
No. It is supplied as an applicator only, so you can load whichever cow magnet you normally use. Magnets are bought separately.
Why use an applicator instead of dosing by hand?
The long shaft keeps your hand and fingers clear of the animal's molars and places the magnet further back over the tongue, which usually makes for a quicker, calmer swallow.
Can the applicator be used on more than one animal?
Yes, it is reusable. Clean it between animals and between sessions with warm soapy water, rinse it and dry it fully before storing.
What animals is it intended for?
It is designed for cattle, including dairy cows, beef cattle and larger growing stock. It is not intended for sheep, goats or horses.
How do I look after it?
Wash and dry after every use, keep it somewhere clean and dry, and check the head and shaft regularly. Replace the applicator if it becomes cracked, split or rough.
Should I speak to my vet first?
If you are unsure whether cow magnets suit your herd, or you have concerns about a particular animal, ask your veterinary surgeon before dosing.
