Diatomaceous earth for poultry health

Diatomaceous Earth for Poultry Health offers poultry keepers a versatile, natural tool for promoting flock health.

External Parasites:

DEE-E is effective against external parasites like mites, lice, and fleas. It works by absorbing the lipids from the exoskeletons of these pests, causing them to dehydrate and die.

Internal Parasites:

Some poultry keepers use DEE-E as a dewormer to help control internal parasites. It’s thought to help eliminate intestinal worms when ingested, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Improved Digestion:

Adding small amounts of DEE-E to feed can improve digestion by promoting better nutrient absorption. It can also help control odors by reducing moisture in the digestive tract. It has been observed that DEE-E helps increase the overall weight of the bird.

Cleanliness:

• Litter and Bedding: DEE-E can be mixed into bedding and nesting areas to keep them dry and reduce ammonia levels, leading to a healthier living environment for the birds.
• Coop Maintenance: Sprinkling DEE-E in the coop helps control moisture and odors, creating a cleaner and more hygienic environment.

Egg Production:

• Shell Quality: DEE-E can help improve eggshell quality due to the trace minerals it contains.
• Increase in egg production: It has been observed that DEE-E enhances egg production in some cases.

Nutrient Supplement:

• Mineral Content: DEE-E contains trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which can contribute to the overall nutritional intake of the birds when added to their feed.
