Lumino Organic Diatomaceous Earth Poultry 4lb

Why 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 drying up manure faster, it controls odors as well as keeps 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 cage or coop floors.

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