POULTRY DE DUST – NATURAL INTERNAL & EXTERNAL PARASITE CONTROL SYSTEM
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Premium food-grade diatomaceous earth dust naturally occurring from fossilised diatoms for comprehensive internal and external parasite control in poultry. Features ultra-fine powder that has been further kilned to enhance the effectiveness of fossilised diatom structures through mechanical action to eliminate internal parasites, worms, and external pests. Australian-sourced with optimised particle size for safe food addition and direct feather dusting applications. Suitable for both feed supplementation and external parasite control – providing complete parasite management for optimal poultry health.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
Premium Australian-Sourced Diatomaceous Earth Parasite Control System
Animal Wellbeing’s Poultry DE Dust delivers comprehensive internal and external parasite control for poultry through naturally occurring fossilised diatoms that have been further processed for enhanced effectiveness. Our premium food-grade diatomaceous earth dust provides mechanical parasite elimination while offering safe dual-application methods for complete parasite management and optimal bird health.
Natural Ingredient Benefits:
– Enhanced Mechanical Action: Ultra-fine powder further kilned to optimise fossilised diatom effectiveness, creating superior microscopic sharp edges that physically damage parasite exoskeletons and soft-bodied internal parasites through abrasive action
– Internal Parasite Control: Safe for feed addition to mechanically eliminate roundworms, cecal worms, and other internal parasites by physically damaging parasite protective coatings and causing dehydration within the digestive system
– External Parasite Elimination: Direct feather dusting application effectively controls mites, lice, fleas, and external parasites by penetrating feather layers and creating hostile environment for pest survival and reproduction
– Dual Application Safety: Food-grade quality ensures safety for both internal consumption and external application, providing versatile parasite control without chemical residues or withdrawal periods
– Natural Digestive Support: Internal application may support digestive health by mechanically cleaning digestive tract while providing natural mineral supplementation from fossilised marine organisms
– Chemical-Free Solution: Provides comprehensive parasite control without synthetic chemicals, maintaining natural environment suitable for organic poultry operations and sustainable farming practices
Professional Dust System
Premium ultra-fine powder format ensures optimal particle distribution for both feed mixing and external dusting applications while maintaining effectiveness across multiple parasite control methods and application techniques.
Ideal for all poultry including chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail, and game birds requiring comprehensive internal and external parasite management for optimal health and productivity.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Internal Application (Feed Addition):
– Standard dose: 2% of total feed weight
– Example: 20g DE dust per 1kg feed
– Mix thoroughly with daily feed ration
– Continue for 7-14 days monthly for parasite prevention
External Application (Feather Dusting):
– Light dusting directly onto feathers and skin
– Focus on vent area, under wings, and neck regions
– Apply weekly or as needed for pest control
– Use dust bath method for flock application
PROCEDURE
Internal Use: Calculate feed weight • Measure 2% DE dust • Mix thoroughly with feed • Ensure even distribution • Offer immediately to birds • Continue daily during treatment period
External Use: Hold bird securely • Apply light dusting to feather areas • Focus on pest-prone regions • Release bird and monitor • Repeat weekly for prevention
DOSING SCHEDULE
Parasite Treatment: Daily feed addition for 14 consecutive days
Maintenance Protocol: 7 days monthly for ongoing prevention
External Application: Weekly dusting or as needed for pest control
Seasonal Increase: Enhanced frequency during warm months when parasite pressure peaks
Flock Treatment: Dust bath application for multiple birds simultaneously
STORAGE
Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight • Keep container tightly sealed • Optimal storage temperature 15-25°C • Use within 3 years of opening for maximum effectiveness • Protect from moisture absorption • Check batch date before application
CAUTION
Avoid inhaling dust particles during application • Wear appropriate dust mask when handling • Wash hands thoroughly after use • Keep out of reach of children and pets • Close container immediately after use • Safe for both feed addition and external application when used as directed • Do not exceed recommended dosage for feed addition • Ensure adequate ventilation during application • Store away from human food and beverages • Monitor birds for any adverse reactions during initial applications • Consult avian specialist if concerns arise • Natural product – effectiveness may vary with parasite pressure and environmental conditions • Observe standard food safety practices when handling
