DE has many dietary uses for pets and livestock. Added daily to your animals diet (at the feed rates recommended below) the hard and sharp honeycombs of the DE lacerate internal worms causing them to release their grip on intestinal walls and get passed. This presence of DE in their stools will also discourage flies and insects around your property.
