Vita E and Selenium

[Cannon_Farms]

For those that may remember my vet said that I didnt need BoSe for my goats, but Im taking yalls years of trial and error over that.
I have been trying to find something with more than the average selenium amount, since hay is not as ideal as it had been in the past.
I found the powder for horses made by horse health products,
a run down on the contents is 5.5 protien, 2.5 fat, 2.5 min 8.5 max 70 ppm on selenium and 20,000 I.U. on vitamine E

ingredients are corn, ground limestone, vit e supliment, sodium selenite, cane molasses propionic and acetic acid as a perservitive.

I bought it along with goat RX when I stopped to check the prices at a feed store down the road, it wasnt cheap so hopefully it was money well spent.

any one know where i can find a chart of their daily needs and perhaps I can do the math?

by doing blood tests and knowing what happens during pregnancy and kidding and kids at birth we can give you the information on using bo-se. What nobody can do yet for crumbles or pastes is to tell you how much to use, or even if it is working because nobody has ran blood tests, used it, ran another blood test and then ran them to know how long the level rises.

Most use bo-se to bolster does and kids. It's not about need it everyday in their diet, just prebreeding to get them into optimum fertility, before kidding so you have no defficency in the dam and to kids at birth to ofset WMD, and given with more E orally 300 IU, no NMD.

By going to minerals that contain horse and cattle dosages of selenium, not goat, you can usually ofset all the selenium problems you have as long as the does are getting E during the winter, with just good quality minerals. Now if you are low in copper, high in iron, etc....than you may need more selenium than others, even in the same area, due to your forage, where your hay comes from and your water. Vicki

so giving it when does are in need of being thier peek is ok, is there anything listed that would hurt a goat if gaven too much of it?
Our minerals we can get I dont think would provide enough, i think the highest selenium is 2.5 ppu

They sell selenium & vitamin E in a powder. You can offer it seperately if you have deficiencies.
