Diatomaceous Earth for Animal Health

All livestock, including Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Alpaca, Chickens, Birds and others will benefit from the use of Diatomaceous Earth.

It is completely safe and nontoxic.

Some of the benefits are:

  • Natural worm control
  • Control of fleas and ticks
  • stimulates basic metabolism
  • converts feed better, better absorption of minerals
  • reduces odor and moisture in sheds and pens
  • results in better coat and hoof condition
  • keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population
  • reduces annual vet bills
  • controls worms and internal parasites without chemicals
  • better egg production
  • stronger eggs
  • helps reduce overall animal stress

Diatomaceous Earth can be mixed right in with the animals feed or you can also add DE to a Stock Lick

Cows/Horses get ½ TO 1 CUP per day.

Sheep/Goats/PIGS get ¼ CUP per day.

Chickens and other livestock you need to weigh the feed and add 2% of that weight in Diatomaceous Earth.

Continuous feeding daily can be very beneficial but we do recommend feeding Diatomaceous Earth for at least 6 weeks for Worms and Parasites.

Some types of worms and severe cases you may need to be continued for 3 months.

Rotation and treatment of paddocks, barns and pens is an important part of eliminating these problems.

Your livestock will also get the benefit of OVER 90% SILICA and over
