Our Diatomaceous Earth is selected for its purity, mineral composition and powerful properties. Being pure ANIMAL FEED GRADE our product is 100% free from added chemicals, emulsifiers or bulking agents. With a soft flour like texture, it is equally good as an internal wormer and external parasite killer as it is a feed suppliment. Used by ourselves on our chickens, geese, miniature horses, dogs and cats we fully recommend it as an effective natural alternative to other highly priced products.
DE is
highly effective as a natural insecticide and barrier for soft bodied
parasites such as mites, flea larve and more. Dust the animals immediate
surroundings paying particular attention to their bedding and any
nooks or crannies. May be brushed into your pet and then groomed out.
Animal Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) or Fossil Shell Flour is so pure that the Food and Drug
Administration has given it a "food-grade" designation. The governments
of the United States and Canada recognize that fossil shell flour is
safe to use in animal foods. Fossil Shell Flour prevents "clumping" of
feed particles by keeping them separate, so there is improved
flowability, mixability and handling of the animal feed. This in turn,
creates two big advantages to the animals who consume fossil shell flour
in their recommended feed ration. First, acting as an anti-caking agent
to prevent "clumping" of feed particles, the surface area of feed
exposed to the digestive processes - both bacterial and enzymatic - is
increased and therefore more feed is actually digested and utilized.
Secondly, fossil shell flour contains a small amount of 14 trace
minerals.
Thousands of animal owners and livestock breeders have
discovered that adding fossil shell flour to their animals' rations has
produced a number of incredible benefits.
For at least two decades Food Grade Fossil Shell Flour DE has been used as a
natural wormer for livestock without the inherent risks of powerful
insecticides.
Mixed with feed at a ratio of 2% of dry weight and fed for
about 60 days to cover the full parasitic cycle, food grade fossil
shell flour DE effectively rids animals of parasites while supplying a
broad range of minerals from ancient sea beds. The health improvements
observed in animals appear to be a result of three primary actions:
(1)
Eliminating parasites reduces physiological stress and increases
assimilation of nutrients from food.
(2) DE is a rich source of minerals
not abundantly available in today's feed crops.
(3) DE may bind to toxic metal build-up and help to rid it from the body."
Given to cows, milk production increased 25%. Mixed with the feed of sheep,
8-year-old ewes were soon springing around like young Iambs. Hogs
stopped chewing their wood feeding troughs. Tumors and cysts
disappeared, and flies in the farmyard were practically eliminated."
Cattle need trace minerals like fossil-shell flour. Increases herd appetite, health and production. Fossil Shell Flour stimulates the basic metabolism, increases protein digestion, stops dirt licking and corral gnawing. The percentage increase result of each fossil shell flour feeding can be ascertained from a fertilizer protein analysis. Increases herd appetite, health and production.
Our Diatomaceous Earth provides the following benefits:
