Phosphorus And Selenium Depletion In Thoroughbred Mares And Weanlings

Greiwe-Crandell KM, GA Morrow, SD Kronfeld. 1992. Phosphorus and selenium depletion in Thoroughbred mares and weanlings. Pferdeheilekunde 1-216, Sept:96-98.

Observations on the mineral status of mares and foals and been made in the course of a study which was concerned primarily with the influence of beta-carotene and vitamin A on reproductive efficiency and growth. Interest also focused on selenium and phosphorus. Pasture contents of selenium form an unpredictable mosaic in Virginia and much of the northeastern quadrant of the USA. Additional observations were made on calcium which interacts strongly with phosphorus in the horse.
