Selenium: Its Role in Livestock Health and Productivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selenium (Se) is an essential metalloid trace element that has a very narrow margin of safety between the toxic and deficient doses in animals and humans. This paper highlights about the beneficial and harmful effects of Se in livestock productivity and health besides presenting some information on its relation to Khari disease of buffaloes in Baitadi and Darchula districts and ways to mitigate toxic effects of Se in buffaloes.

Studies in South Australia in the 1930-40's showed that the coastal areas .and, to a lesser extent, the areas inland had inadequate levels of cobalt and copper for livestock health and production. Since these studies, selenium responsive conditions have been recognised in livestock depastured on the ironstone soils in the higher rainfall areas and also in isolated, but at present ill-defined, a...
