Re: RC: Selenium

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

I have blood pulled every year for Se testing. The lab the vet uses is
Michigan State Univ, if memory serves me. They, I believe, are about the
only one that does Se testing any more. The results that come back are
total Se levels and serum Se levels. I have found the correct
supplementation (given this is FL the levels are probably higher than one
would use other places) to keep the levels in the reccomended range and
that is what I use.
