Diatomaceous Earth for Livestock
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth
Food grade diatomaceous earth aka "DE" is excellent for internal and external livestock parasite control. The mineral and silica content seems to increase feed utilization. Food grade diatomaceous earth is reported to kill 75% of flies and fleas that come in contact with it within 72 hrs. Mixed with grains at a ratio of 2% keeps out pests. Great for eliminating ants, aphids, flea beetles, fleas, earwigs, sow bugs, mites, etc. We use DE diluted in water and painted on tree trunks to keep ants off our fruit trees. Food grade diatomaceous earth can be applied as a foliar spray or sprayed in buildings or just lightly sprinkled in pest infested areas or compost/manure piles. DE is great for internal worming purposes for humans, horses, livestock, and pets. DE helps detox heavy metals. Diatomaceous earth is a drying agent, and thus reduces odor and moisture in livestock barns, stalls, chicken coops, etc. Fed to livestock daily, food grade diatomaceous earth keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population. Add food grade diatomaceous earth to livestock water troughs, it helps prevent algae from growing so quickly in the hot summer months.
We have fed food grade diatomaceous earth free choice to all livestock, pets,
and ourselves for over 12 years. We also put DE in our home made grain herb
mixes that are fed daily. Can be fed free choice and added to daily feed for
maximum effectiveness.
Since feeding food grade diatomaceous earth, we have never needed to use
chemical wormers.
We recommend feeding food grade diatomaceous earth along with organic Thorvin
Kelp and Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt for optimum health benefits.
