Dairyfine Selmet (Selenium Methionate)
Overview
Selenium has an important function in reducing oxidative stress via the selenium containing enzyme glutation peroxidase (GSH-Px). This enzyme protects tissue from oxidative damage. As an effective antioxidant it improves immune response and improved growth. Optimal selenium supply also improves reproduction parameters in poultry breeders, ruminants and aquaculture.
Why Selenium Methionate
Selenium is an essential trace mineral for livestock. Clinical Selenium deficiency can cause nutritional myodegeneration also known as white muscle disease. The disease is characterized by muscle weakness, heart failure, unthriftiness (failure to grow or put on weight) and death. Selenium deficiency also causes effects that are not immediately observable and result in poor livestock performance.
Uses of Selenium Methionate
Selenium is found in greatest concentrations in kidney and liver tissues and is also capable to store Selenium in muscle. Selenium works in close relation with antioxidants such as vitamin E.
