Abstract

The occurrence of selenium (Se) responsive conditions in weaner sheep in southern Western Australia cannot be accurately predicted from pasture, blood or liver Se concentrations1,2. This paper now briefly describes several studies of seasonal changes in Se concentration in skeletal muscle of grazing weaner sheep to evalute its potential for predicting Se responsive conditions.
