RE: Selenium



In cattle and some other ungulates a deficiency of selenium results in what
is known as "White Muscle" disease. In horses of course any imbalance of
minerals can constitute a serious problem if the individual is stressed
through extensive exercise.

Subject:	RC:  Selenium

I am interested in information about selenium, especially as relates to
tying up.  Two vets I know and respect have opposite opinions.  One
maintians that horses with low selenium levels are prone to the condition,
the other says that there is no research to support this belief.  What are
some of the other effects of low selenium?
(Maybe we can get a bit of email.)
