Fine powder, source of silicon, 100% natural and multi-purpose.
Diatomaceous earth, also known as silica earth or silica gur (E551c), is a pure natural product consisting mainly of the mineral silicon. This earth comes from the fossil skeletons of single-celled algae (diatoms) formed in freshwater deposits millions of years ago.
Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust after oxygen and naturally plays a role in soil, plants and animals. Diatomaceous earth is additive-free, unmodified and suitable as an animal feed additive (feed grade).
Diatoms are microscopic unicellular organisms with a mineral skeleton rich in amorphous silica (SiO₂). Natuly’s diatomaceous earth contains an average of >69% silicon and about 15 other trace elements.
Mix through feed, moisten slightly.
Can be used as part of a mineral buffet. Dissolve one tablespoon of diatomaceous earth in 1 bucket of water and offer in addition to fresh drinking water.
Can also be used externally by powdering into the coat, adding diatomaceous earth to lodgings or providing chickens' sand baths with it.
Precautions for use: Moisten before mixing into the feed.
Do not inhale! Always use dust mask and eye protection.
Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes due to drying effect of diatomaceous earth.
Store in a dry place, can be kept indefinitely with proper storage
