ABSTRACT
The effects of dietary supplementation with selenium enriched
yeast on growth, immune and antioxidant status were assessed on 228 newly
received beef cattle. During the adaptation phase (54 days), the animals
were housed in 38 pens (19 pens per treatment) and supplemented with
0.32 mg · kg−1 DM of Se as sodium selenite (CTR) or selenium enriched yeast
(SeY). At days 0, 19 and 54 the animals were weighed and blood samples
were collected from one healthy animal per pen. During the experimental
trial, bovine respiratory disease (BRD) occurrence was monitored. Blood
antioxidant status, selenium serum concentration, bovine herpesvirus-1
(BHV-1) antibody titer and serum bactericidal activity were determined. Growth
performance was improved (P < 0.05) and BRD occurrence was reduced
(P = 0.06) in SeY group. SeY supplementation increased BHV-1 antibody
titre after vaccination, highlighting a positive impact of SeY supplementation
on immune system functioning. SeY supplementation improved (P < 0.01)
selenium serum concentration and positively affected antioxidant status,
expressed as Kit Radicaux Libres value, that tended to be higher (P = 0.07)
in SeY group, due to Se higher bioavailability. The obtained results suggest
that dietary supplementation with organic form of selenium improves growth
performance, immune and antioxidant status in newly received beef cattle.
