Have you looked into the idea of using food grade diatomaceous earth to kill worms?

I am, hopefully, going to discuss this with one of the vets in our practise today. No good asking "the boss" as he will look horrified and tell me someone must come out and inject all my pigs once a month with the very expensive stuff he sells, whilst dreams of his exotic summer holiday takes shape at my expense no doubt  ::)
I have looked it up on-line and it seems a very sound idea :)
