Re: [RC] selenium test results? - heidi

My gelding?s selenium test results came back and I don?t know how to
interpret them for an endurance horse . . . could I get some help please
. . .  he is       0.158 ppm         The paperwork says that normal is
     0.08 ? 0.5 ppm


Don't rely on the paperwork's "normals."  Your horse is borderline
deficient.  At the level you state, he will likely respond fine to oral
supplementation--I'd try supplementing at least 2-4 mg per day for a
couple of months, and then retest.  You want his levels to be between .200
and .250 ppm.
