ABSTRACT
Selenium is an essential trace element for pig growth; generally,
inorganic or organic selenium is used for dietary selenium supplementation.
Newborn piglets obtain all nutrients from the sow; thus, the sow absorption rate
of different selenium sources significantly affects sow reproductive performance
and piglet development. Therefore, a meta-analysis was
performed to provide insights into whether organic selenium is better than mineral
selenium for improving sow reproductive performance and piglet development.
The present study investigated the effects of different selenium sources in sow
feed using articles published between June 1, 1980, and December 31, 2020,
from four databases. In the meta-analysis, 19 articles (347 sows) from seven
countries were included. It was shown that feeding organic selenium to sows
during pregnancy significantly increased newborn piglet weight (P < 0.05),
piglet weight at weaning (P < 0.05), litter weight at weaning (P < 0.01), selenium
content in sow colostrum (P < 0.01), milk (P < 0.01) and serum (P < 0.01); and
selenium content (P < 0.01) and glutathione peroxidase activity (P < 0.05) in
piglet serum. However, it had no effect on the number of live-born piglets and
litter weight at birth. Owing to study heterogeneity (I2 > 50%), we hypothesized
that the sow breed or weaning age were the influencing factors. Publication
bias and sensitivity analyses indicate that the present results are robust. Further
research is needed to better understand how different selenium sources affect
sow reproduction and piglet development.
