An experiment was conducted using four hundred and eighty day-old straight run broiler chicks. The birds were divided into two groups and fed one of two depletion diets. Depletion diet 1 was low in Se (0.017 ppm.) and adequate in vitamin E (50 I.U./kg.), diet 2 was low in Se. and vitamin E. The two groups remained on these diets for 21 and 15 days respectively until the first signs of exudative diathesis (ED) appeared. During the depletion period blood and tissue samples (3 samples of 3 birds/sample) were obtained at 3 day intervals. Se. levels of 0.120, 0.107, 0.090, 0.073 and 0.041 ppm. were obtained for thigh muscle, kidney, heart muscle, liver and blood respectively at 21 days of depletion on the low Se. adequate vitamin E diet. The same tissues respectively were: 0.083, 0.180, 0.097 and 0.043 ppm. Se. at 15 days of depletion when fed the low Se.-Vit. E deficient diet. The birds fed diet 2 at 15 days of depletion were randomly allotted to 12 pens (16 birds/pen) after which one of four treatments (0, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 ppm. added Se. as Na 2 Se0 3 ) was randomly assigned to each pen (3 pens/trt) and fed for 14 days. Triplicate pooled blood and tissue samples were obtained at 3 day intervals as during the depletion period. A significant (P<0.05) response in growth rate and feed efficiency was observed with 0.04 and 0.08 ppm. Se. supplementation. Liver and kidney responded to all dietary Se. supplementation, whereas blood and heart only responded to 0.08 ppm. supplementation. However, skeletal muscle showed no response. Zero, 24, 40 and 70% of birds fed 0, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 ppm. Se. respectively were protected from ED during the experiment.

Commercial chicken broilers were fed a semipurified diet deficient in vitamin E and selenium from day 1 to day 13 ex ova and subsequently fed varying levels of dietary selenium and vitamin E. All birds were sacrificed on the 28th day, stored for 36 hr at 2 C to allow the onset and resolution of rigor, and frozen at -32 C until needed. Total cathepsin content of the Pectoralis major depended upon dietary vitamin E for birds receiving 0 to 12 IU/kg, whereas selenium administered at .05 to .16 ppm in the diet showed no statistically significant effect. Similarly, total protein content of P. major increased with increasing level of dietary vitamin E, but the level of dietary selenium had no effect. Muscle break strength was significantly affected by dietary selenium and vitamin E (P = .0092) interacting together. Catheptic activity and muscle protein explained 6.36% and 3.58% of the viriability in muscle break strength. Birds with more advanced avian white muscle disease showed higher break strength values. Ultrastructural deterioration of the myipathic muscle included disintegration of blood vessel walls, transverse tubules, and mitochondrial membranes as well as the obvious disruption of the myofibrillar components. Myelin figures were present in diseased, but not in normal, muscle. Accumulation of adipocytes both extracellularly and intracellularly occurred in selenium and vitamin E-deficient birds.
