GOATS & FARM ANIMALS

Cows, horses, goats, sheep and other animals have noticeably improved health where DE is given compared to when managing with traditional products. 
>>>>    Pets and Mono-gastric Farm Animals

Natural silica is part of the foundation of every living cell and the health of every animal is dependent on receiving an adequate supply of silica and other minerals. Diatomaceous Earth may be useful where essential minerals might be lacking.

Dogs & other pets – inclusion of silica in food is reported to help strengthen teeth, bones, tendons and improve the function of organs such liver and kidneys leading to improved metabolism with resultant health and vitality increase. Silica is also often linked to improved skin condition and overall better immunity. 

A healthy immune system can reduce the physical response to any allergens your pet may be sensitive to. Larger breeds susceptible to conditions like hip dysplasia will benefit greatly from silica supplementation plus the additional minerals found in Australian DE, like calcium which is essential for growing bones, joints and teeth (note: calcium intake must be balanced with phosphorus approx. 1:1 - 1.3:1 ratio - find out why here ).

Research has shown after just 7 days of feeding any parasites within the intestinal tract fall to negligible levels*

Increases general animal health and appearance

​Silica deficiency has been linked to a broad range of health, performance and appearance problems from lack of coat sheen, to poor calcium utilisation, to scours, to arterial disease. Clinical and observation trials conducted in many countries have recorded strikingly similar conclusions.

​When silica was used as a regular feed supplement 
animal health and appearance improved, production increased, infant mortality decreased, tumours and cysts disappeared, flies were significantly reduced, scours was virtually non-existent and problems that were endemic and unresponsive to traditional, chemical and medical treatments were cured and/or controlled and vet bills were significantly reduced. The silica in the feed supplement also binds to heavy metals, other toxic build-ups and poisonous sediments and expels it from the animals body.

​Accelerated Growth and Development
​

Silica is directly related to the formation of bone, cartilage and collagen and clinical observation reports that silica can increase the collagen in growing bone by up to 100%. Silica has been known to accelerate the growth in calves and plays a vital role in weight gain in cows. Tests comparing weight gain in animals using silica as a regular component of feed have generally followed two testing patterns:
​
  1. Animals fed with silica and a 10% to 25% reduced feed ration experience similar weight gain to the control group.
  2. Animals fed with silica and the same amount of feed as the control group experience superior weight gain.

Diatomaceous Earth can stimulate the metabolism, including the metabolism of minerals, resulting in increased protein digestion and increases the amount of feed exposed to the digestive processes thereby increasing the amount of feed utilised by the animal.

​>>>>    Controls internal parasites when fed

Diatomaceous Earth’s method of parasite control is strictly mechanical and as a result the parasites cannot adapt, develop resistance or become immune. The microscopic edges of the diatoms pierce the outer structure of the parasite which then dies and passes harmlessly through the digestive system.

Clinical testing has shown that high quality, food grade Diatomaceous Earth will rid even the largest of animals, such as cattle, of internal parasites and will continue to control both adult and egg forms for as long as a silica product is part of their feed regime.

>>>>  Husbandry: Horses & other Livestock

Besides the internal health benefits to your horse's health and wellbeing, you can replace many expensive and chemical based products with a bag of food grade diatomaceous earth. 

​External Parasite Control
Diatomaceous earth can be used to effectively control external parasites common to livestock by simply rubbing the product onto the length of the animal and applying it to the stable/ floor and/or ground which the animal sits or sleeps.
​For cattle with tick problems natural silica can be used effectively also.

Controls Odour
When used as an animal feed supplement food grade diatomaceous earth will control manure odour in two ways:
  1. The diatomaceous earth will pass through the entire digestive system of the animal and will be present in the animal’s stool which will control odour.
  2. Diatomaceous earth can be spread in areas where manure collects to control odours

>>>>  Controls Flies 

DE's effectiveness absorbing odours results in less favourable conditions for insects that thrive in otherwise uncontrolled conditions. Food grade diatomaceous earth being fed to animals benefits long after passing through your animal's digestive tract, and like odour absorption , it has a two-way direct impact on controlling flies and other insects:
  • ​Flies that land on the stool will be affected in much the same way as internal parasites. The diatoms present in the stool will pierce the outer layer of the fly/insect which will result in its death.
  • If a fly lands on the animal’s stool and lays eggs, the Diatomaceous Earth in the stool will pierce the outer layer of the larvae which will result in its death

CAUTION: Do not confuse natural silica or food-grade Diatomaceous Earth with crystalline silica which is commercially produced by exposing amorphous silica to extreme heat for use in swimming pool filtration systems. Crystalline silica is extremely dangerous and must not be consumed by humans or animals, or used on gardens or agricultural crops. We do not sell pool grade/crystalline silica.
