Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth
Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is composed of 100% ground freshwater DE, with no additives. The product is made of the naturally occurring fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of algae that forms in freshwater. Our DE is mined in north western Nevada, near the California border. The DE deposits came from the western side of the Pleistocene era Lake Lahontan.
WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH?
A diatom is a one-celled plant, so tiny that it must be magnified thousands of times to be seen. Diatoms take the minerals out of the water and build a protective shell. As they die, the shells drift to the bottom of the ocean or lake bed and form thick layers of Diatomaceous Earth (DE). P.F. Harris Manufacturing, Inc. relies on nothing but the best supplier for Diatomaceous Earth. Their mining operations have more than 40 years of experience and is known worldwide for using a grade and quality of Diatomaceous Earth that is extremely pure. It was important to have a consistent shaped diatom and no unwanted sediment. The shape of the diatom must be tubular with holes on the walls. It must be fresh water because the diatoms form a harder shell and are less fragile that those in salt water. Salt water deposits contain a mix of diatom species. These deposits shapes and sediments are inconsistent, making them unusable for our products.
P.F. Harris Manufacturing OMRI listed products are commonly used in sustainable agriculture. This product is used by many certified organic growers and livestock, poultry and dairy operations and are also used in certified Organic grain and seed operations throughout the world. OMRI listed products certainly fill the bill for living a green, organic sustainable lifestyle whether you are in business or for your personal use at home. Out of 600 deposits in the US only 4 are considered "Food Grade" by the FDA standards. Other food grade deposits may contain higher amounts of sediment and clay that make them less effective. Depending upon how the deposits were formed, clay particles may be present in sufficient quantities to clog the pores of the fossilized shells. If this is the case, the effectiveness of the Diatomaceous Earth is severely reduced. We have analysis of many other "Food Grade" deposits and are confident that we still obtain the Diatomaceous Earth for our products from the purest fresh water source.
P.F. Harris Diatomaceous Earth Food Gradeis a very pure form of Diatomaceous Earth used as an anti-caking feed additive.
All Diatomaceous Earth is not the same.
Diatomaceous Earth packaged under our Harris Diatomaceous Earth label comes from an extremely pure fresh water deposit of fossilized Aulacoseira diatoms created in the Miocene epoch. Why is this diatom so special? Its shell is made of amorphous silica (not crystalline- without a crystalline structure). Its shape and hardness in the fossilized form are important to how it works. Its hardness keeps it from dissolving in liquid. The diatom‚Äôs tubular shape and holes along the diatom's wall allow it to absorb moisture, hence its use as an anti-caking agent. The tubular shape of the diatom gives it more surface area than other shaped diatoms. This means it has a greater absorptive capacity with the holes that open to the center and improved mixing and flow of animal feed. This product does not swell, does not absorb nutrients and poses no long term hazard when used as an anti-caking agent in your animal's feed. With 89% (and often more) Silicon Dioxide plus numerous trace minerals, Harris
Diatomaceous Earth is almost pure white when dry and appears light tan when wet. Other diatomaceous earth deposits often contains an excess of a particular mineral such as iron or a high percentage of clay giving it a darker color or a reddish tint. Common Uses for Harris Diatomaceous Earth
Harris Diatomaceous Earth is beneficial to add to bird seed and animal feed, such as sweet feed, that contain sticky substances like molasses or used and stored in areas of high humidity that cause the feed to clump.¬†It¬†used as an anti-caking agent improves the flow of sticky feeds.¬†Harris Diatomaceous Earth¬†mixed in the feed, coats each particle making it difficult for the particles to stick together.¬†Its ability to absorb excess moisture helps prevent feed from molding in high humidity conditions. ¬† Harris Diatomaceous Earth¬†anti-caking agent is to be mixed at a rate not to exceed 2% of the dry weight of the ration. This means, when mixing, in every one hundred pounds of feed, 2 pounds of feed is replaced by 2 pounds of¬†this product.¬†All regulated products are sold by the information on the label.¬† Be sure that your livestock have access to plenty of water, since DE tends to absorb moisture in the digestive system. Repeat as often as you use feed in place of grazing. Please note Diatomaceous Earth has the ability to absorb moisture and therefore is not recommended for use with reptiles due to the fact that it may dry out their skin. *Always consult with your vet before introducing any supplements to your animal‚Äôs diet. This product is not intended for use as a pesticide.¬† If you are looking for a Diatomaceous Earth for use to control insects then Click Here.

Is Diatomaceous Earth hazardous?
The IPM Practitioner, Monitoring the Field of Pest Management, William Quarles, Volume XIV, Number 5/6, May/June 1992 offers information on the safe and not safe types of¬†Diatomaceous Earth. Diatomaceous Earth¬†used in pool and aquarium (any water) filtration contains¬†Diatomaceous Earth¬†that has been chemically treated and heated making the silica crystalline which is a dangerous respiratory hazard and lethal if ingested. The fresh water naturally occurring¬†Diatomaceous Earth¬†deposits that are designated "Food Grade" by the FDA have less than 1% crystalline silica and all other sediment that are considered unsafe are also below harmful limits and is considered¬†GRAS¬†(generally regarded as safe) by the FDA. These deposits are primarily Amorphous Silica which is harmless when ingested and is commonly used in feed and food industries. The Department of Agriculture in Michigan said in a letter¬†"Our animal pathologist has examined the vital organs and intestinal components submitted, both macroscopically and microscopically, and has found no visible evidence of organ abnormalities. ¬†These components consisted of brain, thyroid, rib section, lung, heart, liver, true stomach, small intestine section, large intestine section, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and forestomach. organs were submitted under affidavit as being from a slaughtered dairy cow having our supplier‚Äôs material added to the feed for approximately five years." The University of Arkansas¬†did a study to determine whether the addition of¬†Diatomaceous Earth¬†was harmful to chickens. Their conclusion: "It posed no threat."
Is food grade diatomaceous earth harmful if inhaled?
Diatomaceous earth is not any more harmful to your lungs than dust found in your home. The FDA has granted GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status to food grade diatomaceous earth. We recommend using a dust mask if applying large amounts indoors, especially for those with sensitive lungs.

Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (HGDE) ni mchanganyiko wa maji safi ya ardhi ya 100% bila nyongeza. Bidhaa hiyo hutengenezwa kutokana na mabaki ya kiini ya diatoms, aina ya mwani unaotokezwa katika maji baridi. Mto huo unapatikana kaskazini magharibi mwa jimbo la Nevada, karibu na mpaka wa California. Mifuko ya DE ilitoka upande wa magharibi wa Ziwa Lahontan la enzi ya Pleistocene. NCHI YA DIATOMASEUS NI KIPA? Diatoma ni mmea wenye chembe moja, mdogo sana hivi kwamba ni lazima uongezeke mara elfu kadhaa ili uonekane. Diatoms huchukua madini kutoka majini na kujenga ganda la ulinzi. Mifupa hiyo inapokufa, huelea chini ya bahari au ziwa na kufanyiza tabaka nene za Diatomaceous Earth (DE). P.F. Harris Manufacturing, Inc. hutegemea kitu chochote ila muuzaji bora wa Diatomaceous Earth. Kampuni hiyo ina uzoefu wa zaidi ya miaka 40 katika uchimbaji madini na inajulikana ulimwenguni kote kwa kutumia kiwango na ubora wa Diatomaceous Earth ambayo ni safi sana. Ilikuwa muhimu kuwa na diatom yenye umbo la kawaida na bila matope yasiyotakiwa. Umbo la diatom lazima liwe la mabomba yenye mashimo kwenye kuta. Ni lazima iwe maji safi kwa sababu diatoms hufanyiza ganda gumu zaidi na si dhaifu sana kuliko zile zilizo katika maji ya chumvi. Maji ya chumvi yana mchanganyiko wa spishi za diatomi. Maumbo haya ya amana na sediments ni inconsistent, na kufanya yao unusable kwa ajili ya bidhaa zetu. P.F. Harris Omri-kuorodheshwa bidhaa ni kawaida kutumika katika kilimo endelevu. Bidhaa hii hutumiwa na wakulima wengi wa kibaiolojia na mifugo, kuku na shughuli za maziwa na pia hutumiwa katika shughuli za nafaka na mbegu za kibaiolojia ulimwenguni kote. Kwa kweli, bidhaa zilizotajwa na OMRI zinakidhi mahitaji ya kuishi maisha ya kijani kibichi, ya kikaboni, iwe ni kwa biashara au kwa matumizi yako binafsi nyumbani. "Kutokana na idadi ya bidhaa za ""Food Grade"" zilizopatikana nchini Marekani, ni 4 tu ambazo zinatambuliwa na FDA kuwa ""Food Grade.""" Mabaki mengine ya kiwango cha chakula yanaweza kuwa na kiasi kikubwa cha sediment na udongo ambao hufanya iwe na ufanisi mdogo. Ikitegemea jinsi mabaki hayo yalivyotokezwa, huenda vipande vya udongo vikiwa vingi vya kutosha kuziba nyuso za makombora hayo. Ikiwa ndivyo ilivyo, ufanisi wa Diatomaceous Earth hupunguzwa sana. "Tuna uchambuzi wa amana nyingine nyingi za ""Gradi ya Chakula"" na tuna uhakika kwamba bado tunapata ardhi ya diatomaceous kwa bidhaa zetu kutoka kwa chanzo safi cha maji safi." P.F. Harris Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade ni aina safi sana ya Diatomaceous Earth kutumika kama anti-caking chakula nyongeza. Dunia yote ya Diatomaceous si sawa. "Diatomaceous Earth, ambayo ni bidhaa ya Harris, ni bidhaa ya ""maji safi sana ya maji safi ya Aulacosaurus"" iliyoundwa katika Miocene." Kwa nini diatom hii ni ya pekee sana? Shell yake ni alifanya ya amorphous silica (si kioo- bila muundo wa kioo). Umbo lake na ugumu wake katika umbo la mwamba ni muhimu kwa jinsi inavyofanya kazi. Ugumu wake huzuia isiwe na umajimaji. Kiumbe cha diatomea ni aina ya kiumbe cha diatomea, na kwa sababu ya umbo lake la mviringo na mashimo yaliyo kwenye ukuta wake, huweza kunyonya unyevu, na hivyo hutumiwa kama dawa ya kuzuia kupasuka. Kwa sababu ya umbo lake la mviringo, diatomi ina uso mkubwa kuliko diatomi nyingine zenye umbo. Hii ina maana ina uwezo mkubwa wa kunyonya na mashimo ambayo hufunguliwa kwa kituo na kuboresha mchanganyiko na mtiririko wa chakula cha wanyama. Bidhaa hii haivunjiki, haichukui virutubisho na haisababishi hatari ya muda mrefu wakati inatumiwa kama wakala wa kupambana na kukusanya katika chakula cha mnyama wako. Kwa kuwa ina asilimia 89 ya dioksidi ya silika na madini mengi, ardhi ya diatomaceous ya Harris ni nyeupe wakati wa kukauka na inaonekana nyeupe wakati wa mvua. Diatomaceous ardhi deposits nyingine mara nyingi ina ziada ya madini maalum kama vile chuma au asilimia kubwa ya udongo kutoa rangi nyeusi au rangi nyekundu. "Haris Diatomaceous Earth ni mbegu ya chakula cha wanyama na mbegu za ndege, kama vile chakula kitamu, ambacho kina vitu vya kunata kama vile molasses au kutumika na kuhifadhiwa katika maeneo ya unyevu wa juu ambao husababisha chakula cha kulisha. ""Haris Diatomaceous Earth"" huchanganya katika chakula, inashughulikia kila chembe na kufanya kuwa vigumu kwa chembe kunata pamoja." • Harris Diatomaceous Earth: Ni lazima kuchanganywa kwa kiwango cha 2% ya uzito wa kavu wa chakula. "Hii inamaanisha kwamba wakati wa kuchanganya, katika kila kilo mia moja ya chakula, kilo mbili za chakula zinabadilishwa na kilo mbili za bidhaa hii. ""Vitu vyote vilivyopangwa vinauzwa kwa habari kwenye lebo. ""Hakikisha kwamba mifugo yako inapata maji mengi, kwani DE huwa na uwezo wa kunyonya unyevu katika mfumo wa kumeng'enya." Rudia mara nyingi kama wewe kutumia kulisha katika nafasi ya malisho. Kwa sababu ya uwezo wa Diatomaceous Earth ya kunyonya unyevu, haipendekezi kwa wanyama wanaotambaa, kwa sababu inaweza kukausha ngozi yao. * Daima kushauriana na daktari wako wa mifugo kabla ya kuanzisha yoyote ya kuongeza kwa mlo wako mnyama. Kwa sababu hii, ni muhimu kutumia dawa ya kuua wadudu kama diatomic duniani, ambayo inaweza kutumika kwa kudhibiti wadudu. Maswali ya mara kwa mara: Ni nini udongo wa diatomaceous wa kiwango cha chakula na unatokana wapi? Diatomaceous ardhi ni aina ya mchanga wa diatomaceous ambayo hutengenezwa kwa maji safi. Mabaki hayo yamepondwa na kuwa poda laini, nyeupe. Diatomaceous udongo ni kuchimbwa katika Nevada na packaged katika Georgia katika kiwanda yetu ya utengenezaji. Je, udongo wako wa diatomaceous wenye ubora wa chakula waweza kutumiwa na wanadamu? Sisi alichagua kuuza yetu Freshwater Chakula Grade Diatomaceous Earth kama nyongeza ya chakula kwa ajili ya wanyama. Kwa bahati mbaya kwa sababu za kisheria hatuwezi kupendekeza kuitumia kwa kitu kingine chochote kuliko kile kilichochapishwa kwenye lebo yetu. Je, udongo wa diatomaceous wa hali ya juu wa chakula una muda wa kudumu? Kwa kweli, udongo wa diatomaceous wa kiwango cha chakula utaendelea kuwa mzuri kwa muda usiojulikana, maadamu unahifadhiwa safi na kavu. Je, ninaweza kutumia udongo wa diatomaceous wa hali ya juu kama muuaji wa wadudu? Sisi alichagua kuuza yetu Freshwater Chakula Grade Diatomaceous Earth kama nyongeza ya chakula kwa ajili ya wanyama.

"Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""Diatomaceous Earth deposits"" ambayo ni ""Food Grade"" na FDA ina chini ya 1% ya silika ya kioo na sediment nyingine zote ambazo zinachukuliwa kuwa zisizo salama pia ziko chini ya mipaka ya madhara na zinachukuliwa ""ASG"" (kwa ujumla kama salama) na FDA." Hizi amana ni hasa Amorphous Silica ambayo ni harmless wakati ingested na ni kawaida kutumika katika chakula na viwanda vya chakula. "Kampuni ya Michigan ya Kilimo ilisema katika barua yake: ""Mtaalamu wetu wa magonjwa ya wanyama amechunguza viungo muhimu na sehemu za matumbo zilizowasilishwa, kwa njia ya makroskopi na microscopically, na haijapata ushahidi wowote wa kuonekana wa kasoro za viungo." <p>Vipengele hivi vilikuwa ni ubongo, tezi-kibofu, sehemu ya mbavu, mapafu, moyo, ini, tumbo la kweli, sehemu ya matumbo madogo, sehemu ya matumbo makubwa, kongosho, figo, kibofu cha mkojo, na tumbo la mbele. "Wanafunzi hao walitoa taarifa kwamba viungo vya mwili vilitokana na ng'ombe wa maziwa aliyeharibiwa na kuwa na vifaa vya ""mtoaji wetu"" vilivyoongezwa kwenye chakula chao kwa takriban miaka mitano." Chuo Kikuu cha Arkansas kilifanya utafiti ili kuamua kama kuongezwa kwa Diatomaceous Earth kulikuwa na madhara kwa kuku. Walifikia mkataa huu: "Haikuwa tisho lolote". Je, udongo wa diatomaceous wa hali ya juu wa chakula ni hatari ukivutwa? Diatomaceous udongo ni hatari kwa mapafu yako kama vumbi katika nyumba yako. FDA imetoa hali ya GRAS (Kila mtu anatambuliwa kama salama) kwa ardhi ya diatomaceous ya daraja la chakula. Tunapendekeza kutumia kinyago cha vumbi ikiwa unatumia kiasi kikubwa ndani ya nyumba, haswa kwa wale walio na mapafu nyeti. Je, bidhaa hii ina allergens yoyote inayojulikana?
