Product Information

If DE does go directly into the eyes you may notice the chicken keeps its eyes closed and appears weak and unhappy; this works very quickly - wash the eyes by inserting drops of clean pre-boiled, cooled water or sterilised milk. DE should also be from a fresh water source as this forms a harder and sharper shell compared to a salt water source DE. Please do not throw away any broken goods until we have confirmed it is ok to do so as sometimes the couriers ask for the goods as part of their investigations. This is particularly useful for pests such as Fungus Gnats as it prevents them laying their eggs as they cannot penetrate through the powder.

Please do not worry about live cultures please see the guide below for how long they can be in their packaging. It is important to have a consistent shape diatom without any unwanted sediment and it must be fresh water because the diatoms form a harder shell and less fragile than those in salt water. Its use appears to be one borrowed from and shared by numerous animal species, attesting to its practice not as an anomaly or aberrant behavior but instead a true adaptive practice contributing to survival and evolution.Feed DE over the course of 1 month to ensure the product has a chance to work through your dogs system. DE is a desiccant powder that can be sprinkled inside the hen house or on the birds, or on cat and dog bedding.

Dogs: 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons per day, depending upon the animals size (1 teaspoon for very small dogs). If you are applying to flat surfaces, a light coating is best – it’s a good tip to tap it through a flour seive and look for an application similar to icing sugar on a cake. One example from the animal kingdom is the use of clay by animal species that regularly scavenge for a wide variety of foods, often of varying toxicity. To apply, sprinkle the DE over your dog and then using your hands rub the powder in ensuring it reaches the skin surface. Removing these impurities can enhance digestion and nutrient uptake leading to a higher feeling of well-being.The increased collagen production that results from adding silica to your diet can support healthy digestion, allowing your body to absorb more nutrients and flush out more unnecessary waste. In plastics, diatomite serves as an antiblocking agent which helps in the separation of plastic parts in manufacturing, and in the separation of plastic bags by the consumer.

As the silica works its way into your system you will begin to see your hair, skin, nails, appetite, and metabolism helped along. When insects come into contact with DE their waxy coated shells are damaged by microscopic, razor-sharp edges. These plants have been part of the earth’s ecology since prehistoric times, yet their species still exists today in both salty and fresh waters all over the world.

Diatomaceous Earth is an absorbent mineral formed from the remains of diatoms, and is composed mainly of amorphous (non-crystalline) silica. An obvious example is the dietary use of salt among humans, and the frequenting of salt licks by mammals such as deer, cattle and sheep to obtain minerals such as sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorous and zinc. Use DE on pet bedding and around the house by sprinkling an even layer of DE and leave to take effect.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT LET THIS POWDER DIRECTLY ENTER ANIMALS EYES; IT CAN CAUSE BURNING AND CAN BE SEVERE. Health Leads food grade DE has been analysed and we are satisfied that that it is the best form of fresh water DE available. DE powder can also be placed in a cat litter tray with some dry soil so your hens can self-treat themselves to a spa day and enjoy a dust bath. The average human body (for example) holds approximately seven grams of silica, needing significantly more silica than even important minerals such as iron.
