[RC] Vitamin E/Selenium supplements - Patti KuvikJoslyn... These are the conversions: PPM = mg per kg 1 kg = 2.2 lb PPM /2.2 = mg per lb. / 16 = mg per oz Selenium 154ppm /2.2 = 70mg per lb /16 = 4.38mg per oz Vit E 11,200 IU per lb / 16 = 700 IU per oz Personally, I'd be looking at calcium and magnesium (and analysing my feed to check on mineral levels and ratio imbalances). I'd also want to know for sure what my selenium levels are before taking a chance on over-supplementing (either by bloodwork or hay analysis or feeding grass hay only from a known selenium deficient field) - it has a smaller safety range than most other traces, around 6mg/day. I'd be interested in Susan G.'s opinion. Patti Kuvik Vail AZ (nutrition study addict but newbie here) From: "Joslyn Seefeldt" <fibrfarm@xxxxxxxxx>Subject: [RC] Vitamin E/Selenium supplements Good Morning: Hoping someone has advice for muscle cramping issues. My horse has had several incidences of mild cramping during training rides and this past weekend was pulled for lameness due to muscle cramping in the hind end. Several riders recommended supplementing him with Vit E/Selenium. I went to my feed mill and they do have a supplement there. Label states Vitamin E 11,200 IU/LB. Selenium 154 PPM. Ok, since I'm math handicapped :) - how do I figure out how much to feed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
