Re: [RC] re: selenium level - heidiThe other alternative is to submit the blood sample to any local lab that runs human labs. Quest, Labaroatory Corp, etc. They all do the lab test, and the horse normal is the same as the human normal. Actually, yes, they can RUN the tests--but no, don't go by their normal ranges. The normal range for a horse is 200-250 ppb, regardless of what the lab considers to be "normal." Most labs set their "normals" by a bell curve of the results they get, or some such. Since so many horses are deficient, what most labs have as a distribution is WAAY low.
