“…Research in Serbia from 2000 onwards reported improvement of selenium status in healthy Serbian population. Mihajlovic et al, (2002) found 71.8 µg Se/l in plasma of healthy persons, while Pesut et al (2005) reported slightly lower plasma selenium content in healthy adults of both sexes in the central city area of Belgrade (66.9 µg Se/l). Except changes in feed industry, during last two decade in Serbia there weren't other activities that could be to influence dietary selenium intake of general population.…”

The use of selenium as animal feed supplement in Serbia was approved in 1989 for some categories of pigs, sheep and poultry. From 2000 selenium in animal feed became a requirement for all categories of farm animals. The aim of this study was to determine the consumption of selenium by Serbian livestock and in poultry production between 1990-1991 and 2000-2008 and to analyze the selenium content of meat, milk and eggs sold on Serbian markets to gain insight into human selenium intake. Data indicate a low level of selenium inclusion in animal feed during 1990-1991 compared to during 2000-2008. These results coincide with Serbian regulations. From 2001 an organic form of selenium (selenized yeast) was introduced in small quantities (less than 8% of the total consumed selenium). Analysis of meat, milk and eggs from Serbian markets shows increased selenium levels compared to 1991. However, the estimated total human daily intake in Serbia is 40.9 ?g, which is under the recommended quantity. Increasing the quantity of selenium included in animal feed and the substitution of inorganic selenium with selenized yeast could be beneficial for animal health and farm productivity. As a consequence a further improvement in the human selenium status in Serbia should be possible.

“…We suppose that increment of selenium inclusion in animal feed is the mainly reason for improvement of Se status in Serbian population. Cited researches (Mihajlovic et al, 2002;Pesut et al, 2005), also indicate effectiveness of the selenium supplementation in animal feed programme.…”
