“…No significant differences in average serum selenium values post injection with Se-methionine were indicated in this trial, which was similar to findings of Pechova et al (2008) and Davidov et al (2014). However, these findings differ from those of Prased and Aora (1991) that indicated an increase in blood selenium levels following orally supplemented Se-methionine. Grace et al (2001) indicated a relationship between blood selenium (GSH-Px) and milk selenium concentrations post injection of barium selenite (Ba SeO 4 ).…”

Mastitis is the most costly disease of dairy cows. A pro-active approach includes insuring adequate levels of selective trace minerals. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of two different commercially available, injectable selenium products, (sodium) Na-selenite (inorganic) and (selenium) Se-methionine (organic), on milk composition and on serum and milk selenium concentrations in high-yielding Holstein cows on total mix ration. Sixty multiparous cows were randomly selected into three groups of 20, one control group and two groups supplemented with injectable trace minerals. Blood and milk samples were collected over a period of 60 days. No specific change was indicated in milk yield, lactose, milk urea nitrogen (MUN) and milk pH levels compared with baseline values. The Se-methionine supplemented group showed a numerical increase in total milk protein percentage. In the group injected with Se-methionine, a negative correlation was present for the initial 72 hours between serum selenium concentration and somatic cell count (SCC) and a highly significant (p < 0.001) increase in milk selenium concentration for the initial 24 hours. Serum selenium concentration of Se-methionine-supplemented cows was however not significantly changed. Injection of Na-selenite led to a 60-day initial increase in serum selenium concentration above baseline levels and a significant milk selenium concentration on day 1 but to a negative correlation between serum selenium concentration and SCC. Differences in serum and milk selenium concentrations followed with the use of organic and inorganic selenium injectables. Injectable Na-selenite, as selenium, can be of important value for cattle farmers if supplemented on strategically physiological periods to improve production, reproduction and immunity.

“…Upon ingestion of 17.2 lg/ml selenium due to incorrect dosage in animal feed, pigs showed signs of acute selenium toxicity, including paralysis, hyperesthesia, anorexia, and tremors [96,121]. Signs of acute selenosis in buffalo include anorexia, alopecia, mild convulsions, and lowered body temperature [96,122]. Symptoms of chronic selenosis include hair loss, deformation or cracks on the skin, horns, and hooves of animals, resulting in the sloughing of hooves and staggering [60,96].…”

Inorganic selenium and oxo-sulfur compounds are widely available in dietary supplements and have been extensively studied for their antioxidant and anticancer properties. Although many in vivo and clinical trials have been conducted using these compounds, their biochemical and chemical mechanisms of efficacy are the focus of much current research. This review discusses the ability of inorganic selenium compounds, such as selenite, and selenate, to prevent damage from reactive oxygen species as well as their ability to promote cell death by reactive oxygen species generation. Oxo-sulfur and selenium compounds, such as allicin, dimethyl sulfone, methionine sulfoxide, and methylselenenic acid also have similar abilities to act as both antioxidants and pro-oxidants, but the mechanisms for these behaviors are distinctly different from those of the inorganic selenium compounds. The antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties of these small-molecule sulfur and selenium compounds are extremely complex and often greatly depend on experimental conditions, which may explain contradictory literature reports of their efficacy.

“…Additional selenite has been shown to inactivate the methionine-adenosyl transferase enzyme system and this inhibition might have prevented replenishment of SAM. Prasad and Arora (1991) observed significantly lower concentration of SAM in the liver and GSH concentration in erythrocyte in buffalo calves administered either with selenite or selenomethionine compared to the control group.…”

Sixteen male Murrah buffalo calves were divided into 4 groups with 4 animals in each group based on their body weight and age. The animals were fed on rations to supply 15% less of CP requirements as per NRC (2001). All the animals were fed a basal diet (0.41 ppm Se) comprising of paddy straw, concentrate mixture and green maize (Control, group T 1). The animals in groups T 2 , T 3 and T 4 were also supplemented with 10 ppm of Se in the form of sodium selenite. After 60 d of feeding, animals in groups T 3 and T 4 were given supplementary arsenic (40 ppm of diet) in form of sodium arsenite and pentasulphate mixture (9 g/100 kg BW), respectively in addition to Se (10 ppm) being already given. After 85 days of feeding, a metabolism trial was conducted in order to determine DM intake, nutrient digestibility and balances of N and Se. DM Intake was similar in all the groups. Digestibility of nutrients (DM, OM, EE and NDF) and nitrogen retention was also not affected by dietary treatments to any significant extent, however, digestibility of CP and ADF was lower (P<0.05) in group T 2 compared to other groups. Supplementary pentasulphate mixture and As increased excretion of Se which paved the way for its less retention (P<0.01) in the body. Hence, supplementation of either pentasulphate mixture @ 9 g/100 kg BW or arsenic (40 ppm) to the diet already supplied with extra 10 ppm Se improved the digestibility of CP and ADF while reducing the Se load from the body considerably showing the positive effect of arsenic and pentasulphate supplementation in buffalo calves given high level of Se in paddy straw based rations.
