Animal Feed Additive (Mineral Supplement)
DE provides a broad spectrum of naturally occurring minerals. These include potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, sodium, titanium and others. Numerous accounts of gain have been reported when adding DE to the ration. With the lack of mineralization in modern grains/feeds, it isn't hard to think of the mineral benefits from a very finely ground natural organic mineral product. Most livestock will acquire the 'taste' for the mineral if a small amount is mixed in with other feeds/grains/meals.
Absorption and deodorization are natural features of DE. These functions will continue to happen as undigested powder passes through with manure/animal waste.
It is recommended that approx. 3 - 5% of the dry weight is added to the daily food ration. Mix the required amount into damp/moist feed, use the following as a guide to mix into feedx:
Poultry: 5g per 100g of feed (no egg withdrawal)
Pigeons: 2-3g per 100g of feed
Kittens: about 1/2 teaspoon
