The role of dietary selenium in bovine mammary gland health and immune function

Abstract: Mastitis is not only a major cause of economic losses to the dairy industry but also a major problem in ensuring the quality and safety of the milk, associated with high somatic cell counts and residues of antibiotics used for treatment. One innovative approach to protection against mastitis is to stimulate the animal's natural defense mechanisms. Technological advances in immunological research have increased our ability to exploit the immunity of the bovine mammary gland during periods of high susceptibility… Show more

“…The importance of mastitis is emphasised by the fact that it produces huge losses in cattle industry (Salman, 2009;Maćešić et al, 2016). Also, its importance is significant from the aspect of public health, milk processing and animal welfare (Bačić, 2009).…”

“…In the last few years, in an attempt to reduce the impact of mastitis and decrease the use of antimicrobials on dairy farms, there have been numerous efforts to try to exploit the immune capacity of the bovine mammary gland to stimulate the animal's natural defense mechanisms (Salman et al 2009). In addition, many studies point to a reduction in the incidence of mastitis with selenium (Se) supplementation, an idea reinforced by the negative correlation between somatic cell count (SCC) and the Se status of the animals (Hogan et al 1993, Paschoal et al 2003, Kruze et al 2007, Sánchez et al 2007, Salman et al 2009, Cortinas et al 2010.…”

Most of the studies that investigated the effect of Se on immune function only compared animals with a low Se status to those with an adequate Se status.…”
