Sodium Selenate - Feed Ingredient

Sodium Selenate is an inorganic, highly bioavailable form of the essential trace mineral selenium. It is synthesized through controlled chemical processes to produce a stable, water-soluble compound that can be precisely measured and uniformly distributed in feed formulations. As a selenium salt, it is used in small quantities due to the narrow margin between nutritional requirement and toxicity in horses and other animals.

In equine nutrition, Sodium Selenate is included as a trace mineral supplement to support antioxidant defense, immune function, and thyroid hormone metabolism. Selenium, often working in conjunction with vitamin E, plays a key role in protecting muscle tissue from oxidative damage, particularly in performance or breeding horses. Due to the potential risk of selenium toxicity (selenosis), inclusion rates must be carefully controlled according to established nutritional guidelines.
