Why use Diatomaceous Earth for Poultry?

DE is USDA-approved as an anti-caking agent for animal feed. It is FDA approved for internal and external use and has a rating of Food Chemical Codex Grade.

This remarkable substance is a natural desiccant. By druing up manure faster, it controls odors as well as keeping coops cleaner and drier.

DE contains 15 trace minerals including calcium, potassium, copper, zinc, phosphorous, silica, and selenium. Mixing Diatomaceous Earth with feed increases egg production and shell hardness.

Deodorization and absorption are natural functions of Diatomaceous Earth. The benefits will continue as undigested DE passes through and settles on the cage or coop floors.

Our Diatomaceous Earth is OMRI (Organic Material Review Institute) listed Food Chemical Codex Grade. It is a non-treated, freshwater Diatomaceous Earth that is mined, sifted, and bagged in the USA.

Instructions

• Use as a whitewash for roosts and walls. Mix one cup of DE to 1/2 gallon of water. Stir frequently.
