Why Choose Selenium Yeast for Horses?
Selenium for horses is an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in your horse’s immune function, muscle health, nervous system, and overall well-being. Our Organic Selenium Yeast for Horses is a highly absorbable form of selenium, naturally derived from a yeast strain, providing 2mg per gram of selenium.
This organic selenium supplement is more bioavailable and less toxic compared to inorganic forms of selenium like sodium selenite. Produced through fermentation, our selenium yeast allows for better absorption and use by the horse’s body, ensuring optimal health benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Highly absorbable organic form: Selenium yeast is bound within the yeast’s cellular structure, making it easier for your horse’s body to utilise.
- Potent antioxidant: Supports the biosynthesis of selenoproteins, vital for protecting cells and cell membranes from oxidative stress.
- Supports brain & nervous system health: Selenium is crucial for the health of the brain, heart, skeletal muscles, and rapidly growing tissues.
- Maintains muscle health & recovery: Essential for maintaining healthy muscle function, especially in hard-working horses.
- Supports immune function: Vital for overall immune health and preventing illnesses.
- Promotes healthy colostrum: Ensures high-quality colostrum and efficient selenium transfer from mare to foal.
- Maintains normal reproductive function: Selenium is crucial for reproductive health and fertility.
- Exercise tolerance: Enhances exercise endurance and recovery for horses in strenuous work.

What is Selenium for Horses?
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that serves as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells and tissues from damage. It is involved in the formation of selenoproteins, which are important for maintaining the immune system, muscle function, and nervous system. Selenium also supports the heart, skeletal muscles, and the development of healthy colostrum in lactating mares.
Due to the varying levels of selenium found in forage, supplementation may be necessary, especially in areas with selenium-deficient soils. However, it’s crucial to supplement carefully, as excessive selenium can be toxic to horses.
How Much Selenium Should I Feed My Horse?
Selenium supplementation should always be approached with care. It’s important to first assess your horse’s current selenium levels through forage analysis or whole-blood selenium testing.
- Lactating mares, young horses, and horses in moderate to heavy work may require higher selenium levels.
- For a 500kg horse, we recommend 1 x 1ml scoop per day, providing 1.5mg of elemental selenium (approx. 0.6g of selenium yeast).
- Caution: Selenium levels should not exceed the horse’s requirements. Always perform testing to determine the correct supplementation amount.

Forageplus does not advise the feeding of separate minerals unless levels have been checked by carrying out a forage analysis. The ratios of minerals are important and feeding one mineral without supplementing correct levels of another can be detrimental to horse health. If you are uncertain of mineral levels then feeding either a Forageplus Equine Balancer or carrying out analysis of forage is wise.

We don’t need to add a lot of selenium to balance our forage, and this always has a good long date on so it’s never wasted. A high quality, economical product that I’ve now been regularly using for years (and will continue to use long into the future)
