A theoretical study of the magnon-drag Peltier and Seebeck effects in ferromagnetic metals is presented. A magnon heat current is described perturbatively from the microscopic viewpoint with respect to electron--magnon interactions and the electric field. Then, the magnon-drag Peltier coefficient $Pi_MAG$ is obtained as the ratio between the magnon heat current and the electric charge current. We show that $Pi_MAG=C_MAG T^{5/2}$ at a low temperature $T$; that the coefficient $C_MAG$ is proportional to the spin polarization $P$ of the electric conductivity; and that $P>0$ for $C_MAG 0$. From experimental results for magnon-drag Peltier effects, we estimate that the strength of the electron--magnon interaction is about 0.3 eV$cdotAA^{3/2}$ for permalloy.
