“…We (6) and others (7)(8)(9) have shown that selenium intakes during unsupplemented T P N are inadequate and can lead to low serum selenium levels. Once T P N is completed, low intakes of selenium may continue during infancy because consumption of formulas based on cow's milk unsupplemented with selenium provide only incidental selenium from the protein source (4,6,10). It has been shown that inadequate dietary selenium may lead to unrecognized problems in VLBW infants (7).…”

ABSTRACT. The selenium (Se) intake and status of 8 2 very low birth weight infants (birth weight 11 10 f 286 g, gestational age 29.2 f 3 wk, mean f SD) was assessed at 36.3 2 3 postconceptional wk, a t 40.1 2 4 wk (hospital discharge), and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 f 0.75 mo corrected for gestational age. Infants were fed formula containing 0.13 pmol/L (10 pg/L) Se. Se-dependent glutathione perosidase activity in red blood cells declined corresponding to low S e intakes (pg/kd/d) for the first 6 mo. With increased consumption of solid foods, intakes of dietary S e and Sedependent glutathione peroxidase activity increased a t 9 mo, suggesting that the earlier supply of S e was suboptimal. Se-dependent glutathione perosidase activity and intakes of S e were lower in males than in females ( p < 0.05).We suggest that infant formulas should probably contain 0.26-0.33 pmol/L (20-25 pg/L) Se, particularly those formulas consumed by very low birth weight infants.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary chromium methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation on the production and immunological parameters of dairy cows during the dry and postpartum period and their offspring. Forty-five Holstein transition cows were randomly assigned to experimental groups with control, positive control (levamisole-injected cows), and treatment groups (5 g dietary Cr-Met/day/cow). Production, immunological, and biochemical parameters were analyzed during the dry and postpartum period. Result revealed that in dry cows, monocyte count and serum glucose level significantly (p < 0.05) decrease in Cr-supplemented cows over control. Similarly, after parturition, the numbers of all immune cells (except monocytes) decreased significantly (p < 0.05); however, serum IgG, ALT, AST, glucose levels, and total leucocyte, neutrophil, and leucocyte count were increased significantly (p < 0.05) in Cr-supplemented cows over the control group. Days in milk (DIM) of treatment cows were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased over the control group; however, no significant (p > 0.05) differences were observed on milk production, colostrum, and IgG concentrations. As a conclusion, the supplementation of Cr had positive effects on immune cells of cows after parturition; however, serum biochemical parameters remained unaffected. Also, there were significant differences on the number of total leucocyte and neutrophil, on the activity of ALT at birthday, and on the number of total leucocyte at postpartum for calves.
