<< Tom,

I was under the impression that 2 lbs per day, albeit a small
percentage of a horse's daily intake, still would make a difference? At
what point would you consider this to be a concern? Would it be based upon
the percentage of total daily intake? Kim. >>

Kim,

Don't know. I've never had a problem with this kind of thing and I've fed
some pretty exotic mixes. I'm watching the discussions about selenium with a
smile because you have to feed an astounding level of Selenium to get a
problem. The biggest imbalances I've seen are in the amino acids of the
proteins being fed in racehorses,m where high ammonia and kidney problems are
due insufficient lysine and methionine.
