Selenium deficiency
Since most soils nowadays are deficient in selenium, the selenium content in basic feed such as hay and grass is often too low or inadequate. The Vitamin Plus Selenium lick stone can help prevent deficiency and support the health and vitality of the horse.
Horses require selenium for various important functions in their bodies. Selenium is an essential trace element involved in numerous metabolic processes. Here are some key reasons why horses need selenium:
- Antioxidant function: Selenium is a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which acts as an antioxidant. It protects cells against harmful free radicals and oxidative stress.
- Thyroid function: Selenium is necessary for normal thyroid function. It helps in the production of thyroid hormones that affect metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
- Immune system: Selenium plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system. It is involved in regulating immune responses and supports defense against pathogens.
- Muscle function: Selenium is important for normal muscle function. It contributes to maintaining healthy muscle activity, including the heart muscle.
- Reproduction: Selenium is also important for reproduction in horses. It plays a role in sperm production in stallions and the fertility of mares.
The lick stone is ideal for:
- all horses
