“…Basically, the flock had a history of good fertility. In contrast with the results obtained in the present study, Anke (1987) observed a decrease of fertility percentage (93 vs 64%) in Sedeficient goats. Furthermore, a positive effect of Se-vit E on fertility and prolificacy was observed in 3-year-old ewes with two injections (2.1mg of Se/injection) before mating and lambing.…”

Three experiments were carried out to determine the optimum selenium-vitamin E injection level to maintain acceptable blood selenium (Se) status of does and kids, as well as to determine the relation of that status to mortality rates in kids. In experiment 1, 238 goats were assigned to one of three groups during the mating period: A1-control, A2-0.06mgSe+0.8IU vitE/kgBW and A3-0.125mgSe+1.7IU vitE/kgBW. No differences (P>.05) for fertility and prolificacy were observed among the groups. Blood Se concentration did not differ among Se-vit E groups and control group before injection, and both groups showed Se deficient condition. There was a trend (P<.05, 32%) to increase Se blood level 60 days post-treatment, but difference was not observed between A2 and control groups, while difference (P<.05; 103%) was observed between A1 and A2 groups vs high Se injection (A3 group). In experiment 2, 48 goats were divided into four groups: B1-control, B2-0.125mgSe+1.7IU vitE/kgBW, B3-0.25mgSe+3.4IU vitE/kgBW and B4-0.31mgSe+4.2IU vitE/kgBW. The B4 group reached the highest concentration at the third month after injection (0.11 ppm), then started to decline after 100 days, reaching a value slightly higher than B2 and B3 on the 135 th day of pregnancy. Results of B2 and B3 groups were slightly higher that those of B1 (P<0.05). In experiment 3, 194 kids (3 to 7 days postpartum) born from Se-deficient goats were used to compare the effectiveness of Se injection. They were divided into three groups: C1-control, C2-0.3mgSe+4.2IU vit E/kg BW and C3-0.6mgSe+8.4IU vit E/kg BW. C1 showed the highest percentage of mortality (60%) as compared to treated Se groups, that scored equal percentage of deaths (22% averaged). The concentration of Se in blood, on day 20 th after the onset of the treatment rapidly increased, according with level of Se injection. The 0.3mgSe/kgBW Se injection increased the blood Se concentration in pregnant goats and it was effective to prevent white muscle disease lesions, besides enhancing the survival of kids until weaning. 125mgSe+1,25mgSe+3,31mgSe+4,

“…positive effect of Se-vitamin E on fertility and prolificacy was observed in 3-year old ewes with two injections (2.1 mg of Se/injection) before mating and lambing (Anke, 1987). However, in this trial, injection of Se plus vitamin E did not increase the reproduction and production performance in younger ewes (Gabryszuk & Klewiec, 2002).…”

The experiment was conducted on 90 Karacabey Merino ewes divided into three groups. The first group of ewes was treated with 5 mL 0.1% sodium selenate, the second with 5 mL 0.1% sodium selenate and 250 mg vitamin E, while the third one was a control group. The effect of intra-muscular injection of selenium (Se) and Se plus vitamin E on oestrus, fertility, prolificacy, number of lambs reared the weight of lambs at birth and the live weight gain for 60 days was investigated. The injections of Se plus vitamin E significantly increased the incidence of oestrus, fertility and prolificacy in ewes, lamb body weight at day 60 and daily weight gain of ewes for 60 days postpartum compared with the control group.

“…Previous studies have shown that Se has an important biochemical function in erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px) [1,2]. Se promotes proper gait [3], healthy pregnancies [4,5], and growth [6,7] in animals. Its deficiency can cause nutritional and metabolic diseases [8,9] and can affect the immune system [10,11].…”

We used 240 kid Boer goats that were divided into six groups. The control group was fed a basal diet containing 0.05 mg of selenium (Se)/kg dry matter (DM). Trial groups received the basal diet supplemented with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 mg Se/kg DM (using a commercial selenomethionine product). Trial groups showed an improvement in growth performance (P < 0.05) despite no change in average daily feed intakes (ADFIs) (P > 0.05) compared to the control group A, quadratic model showed a correlation between glutathione peroxidase activity level in whole blood and dietary Se concentration (R(2) = 0.883, P < 0.04). The best linear model showed that increasing concentrations of Se in the blood (R(2) = 0.968, P < 0.001) and muscle (R(2) = 0.942, P < 0.001) corresponded to increasing Se concentrations in feed. Accumulation of Se in different tissues and organs corresponded to increasing Se concentrations in the diet as well as to the total time goats spent feeding on supplemented diet. Kidney and muscle tissues showed the highest and lowest accumulation of Se, respectively. Thus, Se in goat meat can be increased by adding between 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg of selenomethionine to the diet of goats.
