[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 642694, member: 6198"] DE has been on our list of calving supplies for several years now DE is also a reducer of scours. DE is crushed, ground fossil, from what i have read. Some how it is able to tear at the bugs and viruses that are in the intestines reducing the scour bug load. Stopping them or reducing the amount of dirt they eat will also reduce the amount of scour bugs or codcisiousis (sp bad I know) they injest. Again reducing the amount of bugs in the system. We had good results from it. When you buy it you want white or off white powder, not red. You also want to put it in the calf shelters if you have them. You know they are going after the powder when you see nose prints everywhere. Being that it is fossil ground up, I wonder if it does not increase the calcium in the system of the calf. In the early stages of life, they seem to go nuts for it. But once the grass starts to come, they forget about it. On a side note, chickens also like to "bathe" in the earth. Helps with lice.
