Selenium is a web application testing tool and also it is an open source software. Selenium automation testing framework has gained wide acceptance as a popular and successful mode of website automated testing in a very short span of time. Selenium tools are widely used for testing graphical user interface and functionality of web-based applications developed for all types of industries ranging...

a eight-week trial was carried out to investigate the effects of various levels and type of organic selenium as compared to inorganic selenium. total of 81 layer hens (lsl) 35 weeks of age were used in a randomized complete blocks with 9 treatments, 3 replications of 3 birds per experimental unit. treatment diets included control 0/3 mg/kg sodium selenite and selenium yeast, (250 mg/kg, 500 mg/...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of selenium sources on performance, Se incorporation into certain poultry tissues (blood, liver and breast muscle) and eggs, hatchability, glutathione peroxidase activities in tissues and eggs in broiler breeder. Broiler breeder hens were allocated to six diet treatments factorially arranged with three selenium sources (Sodium selenite, Selenium...

This study evaluates the effect of organic (Se-enriched yeast; SeY) versus inorganic selenium (sodium selenite; SeS) supplementation and the different response of selenium source according to muscle pH on pork meat quality characteristics. Pigs (n = 30) were fed the Se-supplemented diets (0.3 mg/kg) for 65 days. Neither electric conductivity (EC) nor drip loss were affected by the selenium sour...

Selenium is an essential nutrient for animals, microorganisms and some other eukaryotes. Although selenium has not been demonstrated to be essential in vascular plants, the ability of some plants to accumulate and transform selenium into bioactive compounds has important implications for human nutrition and health, and for the environment. Selenium-accumulating plants provide unique tools to he...

Selenium is a fundamental importance to human health. It is an essential trace element for major metabolic pathways, since selenium is an essential component of glutathione peroxidase enzyme. Diet is the main source of selenium. Selenoproteins in mammalian cells indicated that essential role of selenium in the body’s antioxidant defense system.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary selenium source on the growth and development of turkey embryos, and egg hatchability. White broad-breasted BUT Big 6 turkeys (1800 females and 150 males) were placed under optimum management conditions. Turkey diets were supplemented with organic selenium, and in the other with inorganic selenium, in the amount of 0.3 ppm. Eggs...

The impact of providing selenomethionine (2.7 mumol Se) or selenium-enriched yeast (2.9 mumol Se) on the selenium status of lactating and nonlactating women with customary intakes of approximately 1.3 mumol Se/d was studied. Plasma selenium declined in unsupplemented lactating women but not in nonlactating women. Selenomethionine increased plasma selenium in both lactating and nonlactating wome...
