"Pat" wrote in message ...
Many thanks to all for the comforting purrs etc. The vet is en route even as I write this. Gloria says last year's fertilizer had 339 lbs. of zinc phosphate added. This was applied to just 15 acres. Sounds like a lot of zinc phosphate per acre to me. Wow...to me as well. She also says that two of the pastures that were fertilized were gone over twice. One of the fields that got done twice is one that Patrick and his dam were in for two weeks just before he died. She says the county extension service told her the soil doesn't need zinc, but the fertilizer people said that zinc is not available to the plants so she must add zinc phosphate to the mix. Anyway Gloria will take grass and clover samples to be analyzed for zinc, and the vet will be taking blood samples from all the horses. I don't know what will happen. If there's too much zinc in the fields, how to counteract it? And where to keep and how to feed the horses until it's gone? /delurk again Plants don't need exorbitant amounts of zinc that I know of (I am a retired plant molecular biologist - worked in ag chem for 15 years). Zinc is a heavy metal, and I'm not exactly sure how you would counteract it in soil. I would be checking the water supply (and ground water) as well - any run-off has certainly tainted the water. I would ask your co. extension people what they think of the situation - they may have some remedies for you. In closing - so sorry about the foal - he was gorgeous. -L. /lurk again |
