[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1501379, member: 25884"] The DE is not much when you consider we do little or no worming on a regular basis. Have done fecals to make sure we are not missing the boat. At about $7.5 per ton, I consider it money well spent. DE costs about $.15/ lb and the formula we use is about 50 lbs per ton. Our feed mill uses it in many of the feed mixes. It is now standard in the poultry/layer feed as it has been proven that it really cuts the worm load on layers. I pushed it years ago when I ran layers on pasture and they did a few fecals and such. If you don't feed much grain the DE can also be added to the mineral mix and get the same results. It works good in fly dust bags for the cattle also. I know there are alot of people that think it is "fairy dust" but it works for us. We also use BIOMOS and Tasco ( a form of kelp) in our feed mixes. It costs about $7.00 per ton for each. So for about $21.00 per ton, we feel we are getting more out of the feed than if we didn't put it in. [/QUOTE]
