deDiatomaceous Earth for Livestock

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth

Food grade diatomaceous earth aka "DE" is excellent for internal and external livestock parasite control. The mineral and silica content seems to increase feed utilization. Food grade diatomaceous earth is reported to kill 75% of flies and fleas that come in contact with it within 72 hrs. Mixed with grains at a ratio of 2% keeps out pests. Great for eliminating ants, aphids, flea beetles, fleas, earwigs, sow bugs, mites, etc. We use DE diluted in water and painted on tree trunks to keep ants off our fruit trees. Food grade diatomaceous earth can be applied as a foliar spray or sprayed in buildings or just lightly sprinkled in pest infested areas or compost/manure piles. DE is great for internal worming purposes for humans, horses, livestock, and pets. DE helps detox heavy metals. Diatomaceous earth is a drying agent, and thus reduces odor and moisture in livestock barns, stalls, chicken coops, etc. Fed to livestock daily, food grade diatomaceous earth keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population. Add food grade diatomaceous earth to livestock water troughs, it helps prevent algae from growing so quickly in the hot summer months.

We have fed food grade diatomaceous earth free choice to all livestock, pets, and ourselves for over 12 years. We also put DE in our home made grain herb mixes that are fed daily. Can be fed free choice and added to daily feed for maximum effectiveness.

Since feeding food grade diatomaceous earth, we have never needed to use chemical wormers.

We recommend feeding food grade diatomaceous earth along with organic Thorvin Kelp and Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt for optimum health benefits.

Naturvet Pure MSM

NATURVET PURE MSM (METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE) POWDER

Organic dietary sulfur supplement. Comes with a 100% Money back Guarantee from NaturVet. MSM isNaturvet Pure MSM compromised of 34% bio-available sulfur. Sulfur is critical in the formation of collagen and glucosamine - which are vital components for healthy bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.

We use NaturVet MSM for inflammation and pain issues. MSM has properties similar to aspirin, without the possible aspirin/ibuprofin and similar aspirin side effects. MSM is excellent for joint or muscle pain. We find it best to give it 3x/day for optimum inflammation and pain relief, just as we would normally take aspirin type medications. I personally use MSM on a day I plan on "killing myself" - i.e., digging post holes, pouring concrete, putting up lots of fencing and a day or two afterwards to PREVENT feeling the aches and pains I would normally occur from the overwork.

NOTE: This MSM is labeled for horses, so does not have the above information for dogs and cats. We no longer carry the dog and cat tablets, as most of our customers prefer the pure MSM powder and the MSM powder is all we ourselves use. We either mix in with the pet's food or dissolve the MSM powder in liquid and syringe down their throats.

Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt

Redmond Natural Mineral Salt

Is YOUR salt REDMOND?

Redmond Natural Mineral Salt is 100% pure salt drawn from underground mines. It is listed for use alongside organic production. It dissolves in the animal and human body and there's no salt product on the world market to compete with the condition of Redmond's Real Salt. Pure mined Rock Salt tastes better, it is free of chemicals, heating additives, aftertaste bitterness and pollutants. Stock prefer natural mineral salt and it is more economical because it lasts longer. It is the best natural trace mineral salt available for cows, sheep, horses, goats, and deer. Listed for use in organic production by Organic Materials Review Institute.

Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt is almost pure salt (95% sodium chloride), yet it provides livestock with many needed trace minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, copper, iodine, iron, phosphorous, manganese and zinc.

In ancient times, a great salt-saturated sea existed near Redmond, Utah. Water from the sea eventually evaporated, leaving a bed of rock salt where it lay undisturbed for thousands of years. At some point, during the earth's Jurassic era, a range of volcanoes erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with layers of thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Redmond extracts this salt from deep within the earth and brings to us its pure, natural state-without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt is "Real Salt", full of flavor, natural goodness, and minerals.

Many sea salts appear stark white because they have undergone a harsh refining process. Unlike Redmond Natural Salt, these salts are filled with silicates, dextrose, calcium silicate or sodium silicoaluminate, potassium iodide, and other additives. By contrast, Redmond Natural Salt is an all-natural, kosher-certified sea salt that is extracted from deep within the earth, crushed, screened, and packaged. Redmond's unique flecks of color are the result of more than 50 natural trace minerals essential to the body.

Normal salt begins as a saline solution. Then after processing and kiln drying at temperatures of 350-400 degrees, its natural state is changed and nearly all trace minerals are lost. Chemicals are then used to bleach the salt, prevent caking and make it free flowing.

Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt tastes terrific. We put our Redmond Natural TMS in a shaker jar and use in cooking and on food. Please NOTE: The Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt that we carry is labeled for use with LIVESTOCK. Redmond does have human grade, more refined natural salt made specifically for household kitchen use, such as their kosher salt, which is a finer mesh than the livestock salt. Many people put Redmond TMS in their pets water bowls to give their bodies needed salt. We feed Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt free choice to our livestock and mix it in their daily herb, grain, and seed mix.

Sodium is crucial for maintaining the health of every cell in the body. It permeates the fluid between cells (often called the "extracellular fluid") and potassium exists mainly on the inside of the cells (in the "intracellular fluid")...If either of these minerals is deficient or in excess, cell permeability becomes compromised and the health of all the cells suffers.

Besides being a component of extracellular fluid that bathes every living cell, sodium is important in two other 'salty oceans' in the body - the blood and lymphatic fluid. It is also necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid, the digestive enzyme secreted by the stomach in order to digest protein. Along with potassium, sodium is required for the proper functioning of our nerves and the contraction of our muscles.

Each of us contain from four to eight ounces of salt. Salt helps maintain the normal volume of blood in the body and helps keep the correct balance of water in and around the cells and tissues. It is also necessary for the formation and proper function of nerve fibers, which carry impulses to and from the brain, and plays an important part in the digestion of food and is essential in making the heart beat correctly.

The sodium found in salt is an essential nutrient. Sodium, together with calcium, magnesium, and potassium, helps regular the body's metabolism. In combination with potassium, it regulates the acid-alkaline balance in the blood and is also necessary for proper muscle functioning. If we don't get enough sodium chloride, we experience muscle cramps, dizziness, exhaustion, and in extreme cases, convulsions and death. Salt is essential for our well being just as it is for our animals.

Feeding Directions

Cows, horses, sheep, and goats:   May be fed free choice and/or mixed with other rations according to nutritionist or veterinarian recommendations.

Swine and poultry:  Mix with other rations according to nutritionist or veterinarian recommendations.  Provide plenty of fresh clean water at all times.
