RE: [RC] Toxic iron levels - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.

The general recommendation for horses is not to exceed 10,000 IU per day.
And "toxic" means that the blood doesn't clot as quickly, not anything
really drastic like some other vitamins and minerals can.  About the only
way to really do damage to horses with vitamin E is to run over them with a
vitamin E delivery truck.

So Susan - is there any concern about adding Vit E to horse diets since 
there were some alarms raised about more than 400IU being harmful to humans?

Off the top of my head, I'd want to check calcium content of the ration,
calcium-phosphorus ratios, selenium and add a bunch of vit e.
