feed. Bailing wire is perhaps the
most common offender and is
often found in the stomachs of
animals, says Dr. C. M. Patter-
son, extension vetemarian.
All loose nails in feed bunks
and mangers should be removed
or droven in. In no case should
animals be allowed in junk piles
and scrap heaps where such
items are readily found.
If cattle are provided the pro-
per minerals, Dr. Patterson sug.
gests that it, will prevent them
from licking and chewing posts
and other objects.
Actually, hardware disease
is not a disease at all. it iS
merely the ingestion of foreign
bodies by cows, resulting in the
penetration of these objects into
the stomach walls or into other
organs such as heart or liver.
Cows, mature animals espe-
cially, have a habit of licking
and swallowing objects such as
nails, pieces of baling wire, glass
and other metal objects. These
pieces enter the stomach where
they are churned about bv the
>' stomach walls. Here they become
imbedded or even forced through
! the stomach. -
Although symptoms vary from
animal to animal, cows that go
off-feed, are reluctant to move
or move stiffly, exhibit dirrhea
and show pain when moved sud-
denly should be suspected of
the '‘disease."
Dr. Paterson says that in some
animals the symptoms may come
and go while tn others it may
become progressively worse.
These also are symptoms of oth-
er diseases thus making diag-
nosis difficult.
