Sustainable Agriculture

The tide is turning: Hudson Resources demonstrates how attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth provide safe, natural alternatives to chemical-based products. From ammonia and odour control in pets and livestock to industrial filtration and fertiliser applications, these mineral powders deliver transparent, eco-friendly, and scientifically proven solutions.

Hudson Resources owns Western Australia’s attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth deposits. Through Hudson Marketing, these minerals are processed into tailored specifications for consumer, commercial, and industrial applications, providing a secure Asia-Pacific supply chain alongside global competitors such as Oil-Dri, Imerys, Clariant, and Active Minerals.

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

Hudson Resources mines and supplies high-quality attapulgite clay from Western Australia’s Lake Nerramyne deposit. Manufacturers in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific can access raw ore or processed mineral from Hudson Marketing for industrial applications including drilling fluids, catalyst supports, specialty powders, and absorbents. Quality, traceability, and certainty of supply make Hudson attapulgite clay an ideal feedstock for advanced manufacturing.

Attapulgite (palygorskite clay) is a versatile natural mineral with high adsorption, absorption properties, driving demand across Asia Pacific industries. From drilling fluids in oil and gas to soil conditioners, fertilizer carriers, and animal feed binders, attapulgite plays a vital role in agriculture, industrial, environmental, and specialty applications. Australian deposits, including Hudson Resources’ Lake Nerramyne attapulgite, provide premium-grade clay for export acro
