“…These findings suggest partial pro tection or antagonistic effect of arsenic against selenium toxicity, which corrobo rates with the findings of earlier workers [6, I 5, 26], The mechanism by which arsenic provides full [27] or partial [6,15,26] pro tection against selenium toxicity is still not clear. Halverson et al [14] reported that arsenic reduced haemolysis and selenium ac cumulation in the liver and kidneys while other workers [16,23] reported that sele nium exerts its antagonistic effect in sele nium toxicity by stimulating excretion of se lenium through bile.…”

Biochemical studies were conducted in experimentally induced selenium toxicity in recently weaned guinea pigs. A significant drop in blood glucose level, in comparison to controls, was observed in animals fed selenium-enriched barley (organic form) as well as those fed ordinary barley mixed with sodium selenite (inorganic form). Estimation of total serum proteins also revealed a significant drop in both these groups. SGOT (EC 2.6.1.1) activity was comparatively lower but no significant alteration was noticed in SGPT (EC 2.6.1.2). The erythrocytic glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly increased in inorganic selenosis followed by that in organic one, in comparison to controls. All these alterations were of mild degree in guinea pigs which were given sodium arsenite (10 ppm) along with sodium selenite (30 ppm) in the feed.

“…The coefficients of variation for weight at 4 weeks of age were 6.74%, 8.98% and 11.11% for groups 1, 2, 3, respectively. Carlson et al (1954) found differences in response to dietary selenium among certain of the heavy breeds and hybrids. Previous reports show that the growing chick can tolerate a higher level of dietary selenium than can the rat which in turn is more resistant to chronic selenium toxicity than the dog or rabbit (Moxon and Rhian, 1943).…”

“…Some commonly used additives that improve growth rate or improve utilization of broiler feeds include bacitracin, in the form of either zinc bacitracin or bacitracin methylene disalicylate (Bird, 1968;Coates and Harrision, 1969;Creek and Schumaier, I960;Damron et al, 1975;Fernandez et al, 1973;Heuser and Norris, 1952;Matterson and Singsen, 1951;Stutz et al, 1983), and 3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid [roxarsone (Abbott et al, 1954;Bird et al, 1949;Carlson et al, 1954;Frost, 1953;Libby et al, 1955;Milligan et al, 1955;Morehouse, 1949;Morehouse and Mayfield, 1946;Waldroup et al, 1984;West, 1956;Wharton and Fritz, 1953)]. Damron et al (1975) reported that there was no interaction between zinc bacitracin and roxarsone in regard to body weight gains or feed utilization by broilers.…”

The Response of Broiler Chickens to the Addition of Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate to Diets Containing Salinomycin and Roxarsone

et al. 1986

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of broiler chickens to addition of bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) to diets containing salinomycin. In each experiment, five tests were conducted at different locations. In Experiment 1, all diets contained 66 mg salinomycin/kg of diet for the first 42 days and either 0 or 33 mg BMD/kg of diet for the entire 49-day feeding period. In Experiment 2, all diets contained 66 mg salinomycin and 50 mg roxarsone/kg of diet for the first 42 days and either 0, 11, 33, or 55 mg BMD/kg of diet for the entire 49-day feeding period. In Experiment 1, addition of 33 mg BMD/kg of diet significantly (P less than .05) improved body weights and feed utilization. Results were similar in all five tests. In Experiment 2, addition of 11, 33, or 55 mg BMD/kg of diet significantly (P less than .05) increased body weights. In one location the addition of 55 mg BMD/kg of diet resulted in no significant difference in body weight compared with those fed the unsupplemented diet, but in all other locations the response was similar. Addition of 33 or 55 mg BMD/kg of diet resulted in improved (P less than .05) feed utilization when all tests were combined. Feed utilization was not improved in all locations by the addition of BMD.
