The
National Research Council (N.R.C.) established Vitamin E
and selenium requirements in the equine diet at 600-1800
I.U. / per day of Vitamin E and selenium at 1-3 ppm (or
1-3 mg. if the horse is ingesting 10 kg of dry matter).
Select Vit-E-Sel™ supplies 625 I.U. Vitamin E and 1
mg selenium per day. Vit-E-Sel™ can also be mixed in
bulk at 2.5 lbs per ton of feed. If you have any questions
or concerns regarding Vitamin E and selenium in your horse’s
ration, it is important to note that you contact your veterinarian
or your local county extension office. In the United States
only 30%-40% of the forages and grains are considered to
have adequate selenium levels. Vit-E-Sel™ benefits
include: tissue nutritional support, synthesis of other vitamins, amino
acid metabolism, tissue respiration in the heart and skeletal
muscles, improved reproductive ability, and supporting
boosting immune health.
