The Science Behind Natural Mineral Cat Litter The effectiveness of natural cat litter comes from geology, not chemistry labs. Attapulgite clay originates from ancient sedimentary environments formed over millions of years. Diatomaceous earth comes from fossilised microscopic marine organisms.

Australian poultry producers face persistent challenges from wet litter, which drives ammonia emissions, encourages bacterial growth, and can compromise bird welfare and productivity. While imported chemical litter amendments dominate the market, there is growing recognition of natural, locally sourced minerals — attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth (DE) — as effective, low-risk alternatives.

Attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth from Western Australia help farmers and poultry growers maximise fertiliser efficiency, retain soil moisture, and protect stored grain and feed — all with locally sourced, reliable minerals.

Discover why attapulgite clay from Western Australia is the natural, high-performance solution for agrochemical and fertiliser manufacturers. Improve nutrient delivery, granule stability, and soil health while reducing reliance on synthetic additives and imported minerals.
