Title Of Article :
Importance of Organic Selenium in Farm Animal Nutrition
Abstract :
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human and animal nutrition. Se deficiency is a global problem related to an increased susceptibility to various diseases of animals and humans and decreased productive and reproductive performance of farm animals. On the one hand, it is toxic at high doses. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of chelated or organic selenium in animal diets. This interest has been stimulated by reports of improved growth, reproduction and health in ruminants, broilers and laying hens fed organic selenium. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of organic selenium on animals.
