“…Also, acidification of soil significantly reduces the availability of selenium for plants. Instead of the inorganic form of selenium, scientists pointed out that organic form of selenium produced in form of selenized yeast shall be introduced as an animal feed supplement [17,113,114]. Recently, biofortification of plants with selenium has been carried out in arable crop production in order to increase the availability of selenium to plants, and to make them further available as a feed for animals, to consequently enrich final animal products with selenium [115,116].…”

Chicken meat is considered as an easily available source of high-quality protein and other nutrients that are necessary for proper body functioning. In order to meet the consumers' growing demands for high-quality protein, the poultry industry focused on selection of fast-growing broilers, which reach a body mass of about 2.5 kg within 6-week-intensive fattening. Relatively low sales prices of chicken meat, in comparison to other types of meat, speak in favor of the increased chicken meat consumption. In addition, chicken meat is known by its nutritional quality, as it contains significant amount of high-quality and easily digestible protein and a low portion of saturated fat. Therefore, chicken meat is recommended for consumption by all age groups. The technological parameters of chicken meat quality are related to various factors (keeping conditions, feeding treatment, feed composition, transport, stress before slaughter, etc.). Composition of chicken meat can be influenced through modification of chicken feed composition (addition of different types of oils, vitamins, microelements and amino acids), to produce meat enriched with functional ingredients (n-3 PUFA, carnosine, selenium and vitamin E). By this way, chicken meat becomes a foodstuff with added value, which, in addition to high-quality nutritional composition, also contains ingredients that are beneficial to human health.

“…In general, the supplementation with biocomplexed minerals in broiler diets may cause changes in tissue metabolism, especially in muscle tissue (Zia et al, 2017). Chromium is an active component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF) and, therefore, is responsible for promoting greater insulin-binding to cell receptors, thereby increasing the sensitivity of target cells and enhancing insulin action (Huang et al, 2016).…”

“…Nutrition is one of the main factors for the success of any segment of animal production, being fundamental to obtain high production indices. In this context, mineral supplementation, which has been used in broiler farming for promoting improvements both in performance and the main carcass characteristics (Zia et al, 2017) stands out.…”

We intended to evaluate the influence of supplementation with biocomplexed minerals on the performance and carcass characteristics of Label Rouge broilers of both sexes, as well as on the feed efficiency and feed costs. The experimental design was completely randomized arranged in factorial scheme (3×2)-three experimental diets (control, 0.50 ppm of selenium, and 0.40 ppm of chromium) and two sexes (male and female). Each treatment was composted of three plots, each one represented by 21 birds. The average weight (g/bird), weight gain (g/bird), feed intake (g/bird), and feed conversion in periods of 1 to 7, 1 to 21, 1 to 35, 1 to 49, 1 to 63, and 1 to 90 days were calculated. Weight and yield of carcass and cuts were determined. Both average feed cost (AFC, R$/bird) and cost per kg of weight gain (CWG, R$/kg weight gain) as well as economic efficiency index (EEI) were estimated. There was no influence of the diet on performance, carcass characteristics, and feed costs of the birds. The males presented higher means of average weight (3819.2 g/bird), weight gain (3780.9 g/bird), feed intake (11030.2 g/bird), and better feed conversion index (2.9) in the period of 1 to 90 days, besides presenting higher values of live weight at slaughter (3740.2 g), carcass weight (3117.5 g) and carcass yield (83.4%), breast weight (832.4 g), thigh weight (432.5 g), and thigh yield (13.9%); the females presented higher breast yield values (28.1%). The males presented higher AFC and lower CWG. The addition of minerals in the diet does not change performance, carcass characteristics and feed costs. The males present better performance and better carcass characteristics, in addition to being economically more viable.

“…As shown in Table 2, some trace elements (vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, polyphenols, etc.) which play biological functions and specially antioxidant defence could help to combat heat stress in broilers (Attia et al, 2010;Khan et al, 2012;Waseem et al, 2016). Shakeri et al (2020) observed that through synergistic effects, the use of combination of vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium is highly recommended than their individual use.…”

There has been an unprecedented increase in global animal production, especially in subtropical and tropical areas in the last two decades (Renaudeau et al., 2012). The increase in the demand for food is due to a rise in human population (Godfray et al., 2010). Due to its potential role to provide food and livelihood securities (Paswan et al., 2014), poultry production, especially broiler production, are expected to meet the critical shortage in animal protein needed by Africa (Hatab et al., 2019).There has been growing concerns on the impacts of climate change on livestock production. For example, in West Africa, the expected increase in average temperature by 2°C-6°C by the year 2100 (Sylla et al., 2016) portends a serious challenge to sustainable broiler production. Due to the climatic challenge, heat stress events are expected to become more frequent in livestock species (Rahimi et al., 2020). A study by Tawfeek et al. (2014) showed that high ambient temperature adversely affected the performance of broiler chickens under high ambient temperature. However, the authors indicated that supplementation of antioxidants ameliorated the effects of thermal stress on the birds. Therefore, the diets of the birds are required to be adjusted to the climatic conditions (Attia & Hassan, 2017;Nir, 1992;Suganya et al., 2015) and also to the prevailing economic status of the countries where they are produced.The fast rate of development of the poultry production in tropical countries has also engendered a situation of overdependence on
