Selenium for Horses

Selenium is one of the more talked about trace minerals for horses. One of the main reasons is because many horses are actually deficient in this critical nutrient. Thus, in this week's podcast we talk all about the importance of selenium and why owners need to be aware of what it is and what it does for their horses. We talk about how horses can be deficient in selenium and how you can test to see if your horse is low in selenium.  We then explain where horses normally receive selenium in their diet and what levels are safe, and which levels are dangerous. Then, we wrap up the podcast chatting about the debate between organic and inorganic selenium, which one is best for your animals. During this episode we mention how selenium is considered an important antioxidant and we discuss this more in depth in our Vitamin E podcast which can be found HERE
