I live in the Great Lakes region - very selenium deficient.

Where in the heck can 3mg per ounce E and Se supplement be found? Equine
America used to sell it, but no more. Uckele has the best "bang for the
buck", but I'd have to use one and a half ounces to get the 3mg. Pretty soon
her grain won't cover her supplements! I'm exaggerating, but if there's too
much powder, my mare won't eat it.

I've had her selenium levels tested and I think they could higher. I'm
supplementing 2mg per day and have been for 2 years. I'd like to increase it
to 3mg.

Speaking of testing, my test results said that whole-blood analysis is a
longer-tem indicator of selenium status than serum selenium. Is this true,
or simply something Michigan State is selling? (As another alternative,
Uckele offers hair analysis for about $200 -- the cost isn't worth the
benefit to me if blood analysis is good enough.)

TIA!
