Livestock Production

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.

As winter crop sowing gets underway across Australia's grain belts, farmers are contending with elevated diesel costs, volatile imported fertiliser prices, and the growing risk of global supply chain disruption. This article explores how two Western Australian minerals — attapulgite clay (AgriFix 102 & 103) and diatomaceous earth — can reduce import dependency and support crop production through soil conditioning, fertiliser enhancement, agrochemical carrier applications, and

Australian fertiliser manufacturers, distributors and grain storage operators are exposed to serious import dependency risk. Here's how local attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth fixes it. Australia imports the fertiliser inputs it doesn't need to. With geopolitical risk rising and freight costs elevated, local minerals are no longer just an alternative — they're the smarter supply chain decision.

Natural Australian mineral powders combining attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth provide effective dog urine, faecal odour, and ammonia control. Safe, chemical-free, and ideal for pet hygiene, indoor and outdoor use.

Explore how attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth improve soil, poultry, aquaculture, and livestock hygiene while reducing antimicrobial resistance in Australia. Antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic residues in aquaculture affect Australia’s seafood exports to China and Asia-Pacific markets. Attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth improve poultry litter and livestock bedding hygiene, reducing antibiotic use and pathogen risk.

Discover Western Australian attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth, offering cost-effective alternatives to imported industrial, agricultural, and animal care minerals for Australia and Asia Pacific.

Australia’s fight against invasive fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) has relied heavily on chemical pesticides, raising environmental and ecological concerns. Natural minerals like Hudson G2 attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE) offer a safer, low-impact alternative, reducing chemical use, protecting waterways, and supporting sustainable pest management. Hudson Resources supports research and trials to ensure effectiveness, environmental safety, and long-term ecological p

Crushed attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth can support gut health, improve feed stability, and mitigate toxin effects in livestock. Hudson Resources supplies these raw ores and backs research and development trials to validate their practical use in feed programs.
