Mixed in with your normal feeding regimes animals quickly adapt to the inclusion of DE. Dogs and cats may require a small amount of water to blend in with the dry DE if dry fed to make it slightly more palatable. Occasionally it may take a short period of adjustment although it won’t take long before they are licking the bowl clean! Other stock such as cattle, sheep, goats, chickens etc will readily accept it dry blended with alternative supplementary feeds. Perma-Guard has many reports of farmers watching stock gobble un-mixed DE dry like sugar. Broadly speaking, some of the reported benefits your stock may experience include …
