Hi Dr. Getty,
Just had a quick question. I read a lot about all the selenium defficient areas. Was just wondering since you lived in this area is that a problem i need to address with my horses? Or how would i find out if i was in one?
As usual thank you so much

Hi Kim!
No, the soils in Texas are adequate for selenium, so there's no need to be concerned about a deficiency.
Here is a link that shows a map of the selenium content across the country: http://www.saanendoah.com/map1.html
