DE is great to spread around the coops, bedding and in dusting pans. The DE will cut the exoskeletal system of the mites and kill them, as DE is microscopically sharp. Some people say that ingesting this same DE will do the same to the internal bugs, but I would think that after DE gets wet, it looses its ability to do the same as the dry stuff. This is only my opinion however.
BUT this being said, it can't hurt to sprinkle it on the feed once in a while. Make sure to purchase food grade DE.
