I dont think selenium is found in our local soils here in eastern usa, thought it may where there are rocks??? I do think it is in california soil, so i quess all the folks eating out of thec grocery store with all the shipped in california produce are getting needed selenium. That ia why we put kelp and azomite in our compost, growing mix and as we can afford it on our land. we also add azomite to our animal feeds..This is mined in the desserts of utah, where we also get real salt, a mineralized salt laid down in the dinosaur era , and not processed at all. Does anyone know the exact source of the selenium? is it a rock powder being added? We greatfully, now buy a locally produced chicken feed, that we add azomite and stinging nettle to it. I'd be curious as to the source of the selenium :)sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 11:37 PM Subject: Re: Organic selenium approved for feeds
