This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) Mike,
Here in North Carolina our soil has sufficient Selenium. Also in Colorado where we have lived the Selenium level was adequate. So yes, there are some areas with normal amounts. In fact, there are areas with high levels of it. Also, a slight caution to people about supplementing Selenium. Be careful to find out that you really need to supplement before you do it. Selenium is toxic to animals in too high levels. Ask your veterinarian or your extension agent if the soil in your area is Selenium deficient. One way to find out for sure if your horse is low in Selenium is to send a hair sample for analysis; Contact your vet for more info.
