Description

Red Lake Earth Diatomaceous Earth with Calcium Bentonite is a premium, food/feed-grade mineral blend sourced from freshwater deposits in Canada. It contains two natural materials:

  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE) — made from the fossilized remains of microscopic aquatic organisms (diatoms). It forms a fine, porous powder rich in amorphous silica.

  • Calcium Bentonite Clay — a natural clay that enhances absorbency and binding properties.

This dual-action composition helps keep livestock feed dry and free-flowing, even in humid environments, and may be sprinkled in animal housing to reduce excess moisture and odor. Red Lake Earth is OMRI-Listed for organic livestock production, making it suitable for farmers who prefer natural management tools.

All Red Lake Earth products are food/feed grade, not calcined, and contain less than 1% crystalline silica, making them safe for approved livestock applications when used as directed.

Important: This product is intended for animal and agricultural use. Not for human consumption. Always follow label directions and handle in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling dust.

  • May help keep environments drier, discouraging insect and mite presence.

  • Reapply after cleaning or heavy moisture exposure.

🌾 In Grain Storage

  • Sprinkle a thin layer in feed bins or grain storage areas to improve dryness and prevent feed from sticking to surfaces.
