A balance trial was conducted to determine the availability and utilization of protozoal-selenium (Se) for young goats. Protozoal-Se was prepared from rumen fluid of a sheep supplemented with 0.4 mg inorganic Se (sodium selenite). A milk replacer diet without Se was supplemented with either 0.1 mg/kg diet of protozoal-Se or inorganic Se or no Se (control). The utilization coefficient of Se did not vary significantly (P>0.05) between kids supplemented with protozoal-Se and selenite. Blood Se level was similar in the Se supplemented groups. Results suggest that protozoa-Se can be absorbed in the lower gut and efficiently utilized by young goats in similar manner as selenite.
