Benefits Of Diatomaceous Earth For Animal Health

Natural Parasite Control

Kills internal parasites (e.g., worms) by dehydrating them in the digestive tract.
Helps reduce external parasites like fleas, lice, mites, and ticks when applied to bedding or directly to the coat.

Digestive Health Support

Can improve digestion by aiding in the removal of intestinal buildup and toxins.
Reduces fecal odor and improves nutrient absorption.

Mineral Supplementation

Provides a source of trace minerals such as silica, calcium, magnesium, and iron
Supports stronger bones, joints, skin, and hooves.

Detoxification

Binds to heavy metals and bacteria in the gut, assisting in natural detoxification.

Feed & Storage Protection

Added to grain storage to prevent mold, insect infestation, and moisture damage.

Use as part of a daily regimen in large animal feed and small animal pet food.
Mix directly to stored grains or feed to control moisture, mold, insect infestations and spoilage.
A natural source of minerals including: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium and Potassium.
High silica content essential for shiny coats and strong nail growth.
Recommended by veterinarians.
Certified Organic by OMRI.

Decreased Egg Production - Mite infestations can reduce laying by up to 15–20%.
Anemia and Stress - Blood loss from mites leads to anemia and weakened immune systems.
Feather Loss & Skin Irritation - External parasites cause feather pecking, lesions, and severe discomfort.
Increased Susceptibility to Disease - Parasites compromise immune function, making chickens more vulnerable to infections like salmonella and E. coli.
Mortality Risk - In severe cases, mite infestations can lead to death, especially in young or already compromised birds.
Losses in Profits - Infestations can result in millions of dollars in lost productivity annually.
Treatment and Control Costs - estimated over $20 million/year nationally is spent on pesticides, vet visits, and preventive care.
Regulatory & Consumer Pressure - Organic and humane standards push for non-chemical parasite control.
