“…To our knowledge, several studies have been conducted on the effect of Se on performance. Ghaderzadeh (2016) reported that supplementation of nano-selenium to Moghani male lambs had no significant effect on performance, which is in accordance with other studies that have been done on other (Sushma et al, 2015) and beef calve (Richards et al, 2011). Therefore, the insignificant difference in these studies might be due to feeding the balanced diet with adequate nutritional practice where Se is not deficient.…”

orty newly born male Holstein calves were distributed randomly into four treatments (n=10) to receive no additive (control), Se (2.3mg/head/d), Humic acid (HA, 15 g/head/d), HA + Se (15 g HA+2.3 mg Se/head/d) to evaluate the effect of treatments on calves performance, serum IgG concentration and some blood parameters. Calves received their respective treatments for four consecutive days after birth as treatments were mixed with colostrum and blood samples were taken at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hrs. after birth and biweekly until 75 th day of life. Treatment had no effect on ADG, feed intake or weaning weight. Se and or HA had no effect on IgG concentration at 48 hrs. Se treatment increased (P<0.05) serum TP and HA reduced (P<0.05) serum TP compared to control and HA+Se. All treatments (Se, HA, HA+Se) increased (P<0.05) serum Alb concentration compared to control. Se supplementation increased (P<0.05) Glob concentration, however HA+Se reduced (P<0.05) Glob. Therefore HA+Se and HA had the higher A/G ratio compared to Se and control. Treatments had no effect on serum glucose (G). Se increased (P<0.05) G whereas, HA and HA+Se reduced (P<0.05) G significantly compared to control. Treatments with HA and HA+Se decreased (P<0.05) serum urea compared to control, whereas HA and increased (P<0.05) serum cholesterol but HA+Se group had the least cholesterol concentrations. All treatments reduced (P<0.05) serum TG compared to control. Se supplementation increased TP, Glob and G contrary to HA effect. More research is needed to evaluate the effect of Se and HA in animal health and performance.

“…In a study by Mohri et al [ 55 ], Se and vitamin E supplements did not affect the final BW or ADG of lambs. Alimohamady et al [ 56 ], Sushma et al [ 57 ], and Vignola et al [ 58 ] found that Se supplementation did not influence growth performance in lambs. Selenium also did not considerably affect the growth rate of buffalos [ 59 ], or ADG, feed intake, and feed conversion in goats [ 60 ].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a long-acting selenium (Se) preparation administered to sheep. The experiment was conducted on 30 dams and 36 lambs divided into three equal groups of 10 dams and 12 lambs each: Control—C, and two experimental groups—E (Se administered to pregnant ewes) and EI (Se administered directly to lambs after the colostral period). The Se preparation (Barium Selenate Injection, BVP Animal Care, 50 mg/mL) was administered by injection at 1 mL/50 kg (1 mg Se/kg) body weight (BW) to group E ewes in the third month of pregnancy (between 70 and 90 days) and to group EI lambs between 4 and 7 days of age. The following parameters were determined: Se concentration in the blood of ewes, milk yield, milk composition, Se concentration in milk; hematological, biochemical, and immunological parameters and Se concentration in the blood of lambs; growth rate and in vivo measurements of lean meat and fat content in lambs. Barium selenate significantly improved the Se status of dams and lambs, regardless of whether it was administered to pregnant ewes or directly to lambs in the first week of their life. The milk of ewes receiving the Se preparation was characterized by higher concentrations of fat and dry matter. The Se preparation induced significant changes in immunological parameters, thus enhancing defense mechanisms in lambs. The Se preparation exerted more stimulatory effects on humoral and cellular immune responses when administered directly to lambs after the colostral period (group EI) than to pregnant ewes (group E). The results of this study indicate that the long-acting Se preparation delivers benefits to sheep by boosting their immunity and, therefore, improving performance.

“…Several studies investigated the effects of selenium supplementation on body weights in chickens [43], lambs [44], cows [45], and also in laboratory animals like rats [46] and mice [13]. The results are diverse depending on the concentration, duration, and source of selenium.…”

Dietary selenium augments sarcoplasmic calcium release and mechanical performance in mice

BackgroundAs an essential trace element selenium plays a significant role in many physiological functions of the organs. It is found within muscles as selenocystein in selenoprotein N, which is involved in redox-modulated calcium homeostasis and in protection against oxidative stress.MethodsThe effects of two different selenium compounds (selenate and NanoSe in 0.5 and 5 ppm concentration for two weeks) on muscle properties of mice were examined by measuring in vivo muscle performance, in vitro force in soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles and changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in single fibers from flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle.. Western-blot analysis on muscle lysates of EDL and SOL were used to measure the selenoprotein N expression. Control mice received 0.3 ppm Se.ResultsWhile the grip force did not change, 5 ppm selenium diets significantly increased the speed of voluntary running and the daily distance covered. Both forms of selenium increased significantly the amplitude of single twitches in EDL and SOL muscle in a concentration dependent manner. Selenate increased fatigue resistance in SOL. The amplitude of the calcium transients evoked by KCl depolarization increased significantly from the control of 343 ± 44 nM to 671 ± 51 nM in the presence of 0.5 ppm selenate in FDB fibers. In parallel, the rate of calcium release during short depolarizations increased significantly from 28.4 ± 2.2 to 45.5 ± 3.8 and 52.1 ± 1.9 μM/ms in the presence of 0.5 ppm NanoSe and selenate, respectively. In 0.5 ppm concentration both selenium compounds increased significantly the selenoprotein N expression only in EDL muscle.ConclusionsSelenium supplementation augments calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum thus improves skeletal muscle performance. These effects are accompanied by the increased selenoprotein N expression in the muscles which could result in increased oxidative stress tolerance in case of long lasting contraction.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12986-016-0134-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
