[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15627"] I looked into using DE as an internal parasite control tool after being contacted by a California company who was selling feed grade DE. I asked for research data to support their product being used for this purpose. All I received was the benefits from a growth standpoint and increase weaning wts. Their DE sales pitch was increased weaning wts. were because of internal parasite control but they supplied no supporting data. DE is cheap and I planned to mix it with free choice mineral. I can find no research data that indicates a reduction in internal parasites. The theory behind DE is that because of its composition (crustean exoskeletons) that insect LARVAE whether they be internal or in the case of fly larvae hatched in manure that contact with the sharp DE will injure the larvae an prevent adults. My vet doesn't support the use for this purpose. Spend your money for something beneficial until facts are presented to us. > The studies I saw dealt with > internal parasites.
