[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 926259, member: 839"] The only things I've ever used Diatomatious Earth for were in a Diatom Filter for fish tanks and I use it on some of my plants in the vegetable garden to help with insect damage (woodstove ashes are also good at killing cutworms). Years ago had a neighbor use it in their swimming pool filtration system. I don't see how it would work for internal parasites and be effective. Many folks consider my animals "all natural" even though I use 'chemical' de-wormers, and I vaccinate and feed loose mineral and use rubs and/or pour-on fly control. They consider them "all natural" because I don't use growth hormones or antibiotics (unless the animal has a sickness which requires them), implants, etc. As for kelp, I don't see how that could be used for an anthelmintic either. A dietary supplement....perhaps...but not as parasite control. That cattle operation that Mr. McMillan visited sounds like it has some serious management issues! As in lack of good sound management practices. Katherine [/QUOTE]
