Hi Cherise, thanks for letting me know about the broken link. I've replaced it with another resource. I would not recommend feeding DE. You don't want to kill the beneficial microorganisms in your sheeps gut and DE is a non-specific, meaning it doesn't target specific parasites as commercial dewormers will. Gut health is vital to overall health and a great way to maintain gut health and also take care of parasites is by using commercially available, vet recommended dewormers and parasite control. Where you live will determine what parasites you need to watch and test for. We have very few that impact sheep here (intermountain west) but in more wet climates there are many more parasites to worry about, specifically barber pole worm as this can be fatal. I hope that helps!

1)When I click on the link for sheep, it says that page is not available.
2)We add food grade diatomaceous earth to our sheep feed as we were told it helps prevent worms. Thoughts on this?
