Re: [AlpacaTalk] DE questions
Janice - I don't sprinkle the DE on our manure piles because they are
cleaned daily and it would be a waste. I feed it internally to all the animals on
our ranch except for the goats because our pygmies can't have grain. I gave
the recommended feeding dosages in a prior email to AlpacaTalk on 10-10-08.
I feed it once a day mixed into their grain/pellets. You can spray water on
it in the feed to help keep down the dust if you feed it right away, but I
don't. It also keeps grain and pellets from molding, so I mix ours directly in
the feed cans with the grain/pellets right when the bags are delivered.
It helps tremendously with the flies and worms on our ranch, I swear by the
stuff and I was a total skeptic. We had tried just about everything and it
didn't work, fly predators, fly traps, etc. We are on drylot. We also mulch
our horse manure with the garden tractor twice a week, but we did that years
before we tried the DE and it didn't as big a difference. I wholeheartedly
recommend feeding DE to all your animals, at least during fly season. I think
we will give them a few months' off it in the winter time.
