Bear Foot,
You seem to mis understand me. The producers and consumers aren't requesting reports is what I'm saying - they use it because it works for the multitude of reasons they need it for. Does my 100k-head dairy farm care about DE controlling internal parasites? No, they care that it keeps mold and insects down in feed storage, keeps feed costs down, keeps insects down in the soil when spread, and helps absorb urine and manure runoff when spread. After their trial groups showed better profit margins on the feeding, they chose to adopt DE into their business. Again, this particular client did note reduced internal parasites and other health probelms, along with increased production in the trial groups, but that's not what they wanted to primarily use DE for.
Please don't assume i'm 'pushing' DE because i 'sell' it. I provide whatever my customers require or ask me to look into.
Again, the consumers run trials - what we typically refer to as field trials or field testing - when i said they aren't requesting testing, i meant that they aren't asking for an independent, 3rd party labratory or university to rerun the data.
The poster above already pointed out that you are pulling and highlighting the sentences out of the report that you only agree with. I'm analytical; i pool all known data from all verifiable sources in order to properly meet my customers requests. I could go back and forth on this issue, but i can already see from earlier posts that you wish to argue for the sake of arguing, and that's not worth anyone's time. I just posted in an attempt to answer the questions that people were asking, not feed a troll. Please don't take my words out of context to fit your arguement.
If you do not use DE, that's your choice as a consumer and a business. I'll trust the data and the practices of the multimillion companies, thank you.
