Selenium in horses:
Horses need selenium for various important bodily functions. Selenium is an essential trace element involved in numerous metabolic processes. Here are some important reasons why horses need selenium:
-
Antioxidant function: Selenium is a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which acts as an antioxidant. It protects cells from harmful free radicals and oxidative stress.
-
Thyroid function: Selenium is necessary for the normal function of the thyroid gland. It helps in the production of thyroid hormones, which influence metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
-
Immune system: Selenium plays an important role in supporting the immune system. It is involved in regulating immune responses and supports the body's defense against pathogens.
-
Muscle function: Selenium is important for normal muscle function. It contributes to the maintenance of healthy muscle activity, including that of 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.
It is important that horses receive sufficient selenium, as a deficiency or excess can lead to health problems. The exact amount of selenium a horse needs depends on various factors such as age, weight, activity level, and health condition.
