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.

Suggested Uses & Application Tips

🐄 In Animal Feed (Primary Labeled Use)

Use as an anti-caking agent or flow aid in livestock and poultry feed.
Mix at up to 2% of total feed weight (per manufacturer guidance and AAFCO standards).
Helps reduce feed clumping and improves feed movement in bins, augers, and feeders.

🐓 In Barns, Coops, and Stalls

Lightly dust clean, dry bedding to help absorb moisture and reduce odor.
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.

🐕 For Pets and Hobby Animals

May be used around kennels, hutches, and coops to promote a drier, cleaner environment.
Avoid direct dust exposure to animal eyes, nose, or open wounds.
