Efficacy of dietary sodium selenite and calcium selenite provided in the diet at approved, marginally toxic, and toxic levels to growing swine.

چکیده
A 2 x 3 factorial experiment conducted in three replicates of a randomized complete block design compared the effects of calcium selenite and sodium selenite at three different levels of Se (.3, 5, or 15 ppm) in the diets of growing swine on performance and tissue Se concentrations. Ninety pigs averaging 12.5 kg of BW were given ad libitum access to corn-soybean meal diets fortified with one of the treatment Se sources and dietary levels for a 35-d experimental period. Growth and feed intake were similar in pigs fed .3 and 5 ppm of Se but were lower (P less than .01) in those fed 15 ppm from either Se source. Serum Se increased (P less than .01) as dietary Se level increased with no difference between Se sources at each dietary Se level. Liver, kidney, and longissimus muscle Se concentrations increased (P less than .01) as the dietary level of Se increased and were similar when either Se sources was provided. These results indicate that calcium selenite was as effective as sodium selenite using the measurement criteria of growth, serum, and tissue Se concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activities of growing swine when fed at approved, marginally toxic, and toxic dietary Se levels.

Toxic effects of selenium on growing swine fed corn-soybean meal diets.
A total of 96 crossbred pigs received various levels of sodium selenite to determine the effect of dietary selenium (Se) on growing swine fed corn-soybean meal diets. Levels of supplemental Se were 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 micrograms/g. There were linear decreases (P less than .01) in both gain and feed intake with increasing levels of dietary Se. Feed/gain increased numerically as dietary Se inc...
متن کاملAN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Oing Yu for the degree of Master of Science in Nutrition and Food Management presented on January 28, 1992. Title: Effect of Dietary Fluoride on Selenite Toxicity in the Rat Abstract approved:
approved: Florian L. Cerklewski Two factorial experiments were conducted to determine if high dietary fluoride would inhibit selenite toxicity in rats. In each study, two levels of selenite (0.05 and 5 mg/kg diet) were matched against two levels of fluoride (1 and 150 mg/kg diet) for either 6 or 8 weeks. Fluoride failed to prevent the depressive effect of selenite on food intake and body weight...
متن کاملSupplementation of Sodium Selenite and Methionine on Concentration of Selenium in Egg and Serum, Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Immune Response of Iranian Native Broiler Breeders
Effects of sodium selenite (SS) in offspring of broiler breeders has been reported, but the comparison between SS and different level of methionine on offspring has received limited, so this study was conducted to investigate sodium selenite and methionine effects on concentration of selenium in egg and serum of Iranian native broiler breeders. An experiment was conducted in 3 × 3 factorial exp...
متن کاملComparative effects of nano-selenium and sodium selenite supplementations on fertility in aged broiler breeder males
It is well documented that aging has negative effects on fertility. With increasing age, the activity of antioxidant enzymes are reduced and because of roosters sperm composition, a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the probability of sperm damage increases. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of nano-selenium and sodium selenite on fertility in a...
متن کاملTolerance of Inorganic Selenium in Ruminants
This experiment evaluated the maximum tolerable level of inorganic Se fed to growing wether lambs for 1 yr. Sodium selenite was added to provide 0.2, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ppm Se to a basal diet. Thirty-nine crossbred wether lambs initially weighing 50.2 ± 7.2 lb were randomly allotted to one of six treatments. Both serum and whole blood Se concentrations increased at each collection period as die...
