[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1441894, member: 12607"] Craig. DE has [u]never[/u] [b]killed[/b] a worm [u]in[/u] an animal. Any and all claims that it is an effective dewormer are bogus, with no scientific support. There is some documented evidence that if you could formulate a ration containing about 5% DE - and get the animals to consume it - that there may be diminished larval survival inside the fecal pellets/pats - just due to the dessicating effects of the DE. However, I've also seen documented 'outbreaks' of urolithiasis (bladder stones causing urinary obstruction) in feedlot steers that had DE added to their ration as an 'organic dewormer'; they didn't take into account the mineral composition of the DE... it was a trainwreck.
