[QUOTE="dun, post: 40741, member: 34"] Normally it's a preventative. With hardware disease, also refered to as "wired" there are a bunch of different symptoms depending on where the wire is poking. Humped up, grunts when walking, weak, maybe blood in the feces, etc. The only way to know for sure is to examine the intestines. I suppose you could do that with a BIG x-ray or something. I've heard of using as metal detector, seems like it would have to be an awfully big piece of metal for that to work. When we fed wire tied hay we dropped a magnet in everything. If we butchered something, we cut the magney ouy and reused it. The newer magnets are laminates of iron and plastic disks and about the size of half of a cigar. The ones we used/use are smaller in diameter and solid stainless steel. dun [/QUOTE]
