Feeding Food Grade Fossil Shell Flour® to Livestock

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) or Fossil Shell Flour® is so pure that the Food and Drug Administration has given it a "food-grade" designation. The governments of the United States and Canada recognize that fossil shell flour is safe to use in animal foods.

Fossil Shell Flour prevents "clumping" of feed particles by keeping them separate, so there is improved flowability, mixability and handling of the animal feed. This in turn, creates two big advantages to the animals who consume fossil shell flour in their recommended feed ration.

• First, acting as an anti-caking agent to prevent "clumping" of feed particles, the surface area of feed exposed to the digestive processes - both bacterial and enzymatic - is increased and therefore more feed is actually digested and utilized.
• Secondly, fossil shell flour contains a small amount of 14 trace minerals. Thousands of animal owners and livestock breeders have discovered that adding fossil shell flour to their animals' rations has produced a number of incredible benefits.

"For at least two decades Food Grade Fossil Shell Flour® DE has been used as a natural wormer for livestock without the inherent risks of powerful insecticides. Mixed with feed at a ratio of 2% of dry weight and fed for about 60 days to cover the full parasitic cycle, food grade fossil shell flour DE effectively rids animals of parasites while supplying a broad range of minerals from ancient sea beds. The health improvements observed in animals appear to be a result of three primary actions:

1. Eliminating parasites reduces physiological stress and increases assimilation of nutrients from food.
2. DE is a rich source of minerals not abundantly available in today's feed crops.
3. DE may bind to toxic metal build-up and help to rid it from the body."

Given to cows, milk production increased 25%. Mixed with the feed of sheep, 8-year-old ewes were soon springing around like young Iambs. Hogs stopped chewing their wood feeding troughs. Tumors and cysts disappeared, and flies in the farmyard were practically eliminated."

A Bison rancher in Alberta conducted fecal test samples to check for parasites after using diatomaceous earth for several weeks. His tests came out negative. Neither he nor his vet believed it, so they took more samples from different Bison, from different herds, which had been fed diatomaceous earth - negative. Not only did he solve his parasite problem with a non-toxic, natural product, but he found that the coats and overall appearance of his bison had improved. Another benefit is that some diatomaceous earth remains in the manure, preventing the eggs of flies and parasites from hatching out, thereby, breaking the cycle of re-infestation."
