“…In our study, the addition of OH‐SeMet increased the percentage of motility and sperm viability of old roosters and decreased the percentage of abnormality. In line with the results of this study, it has recently been shown that supplementation of organic Se in the diet of roosters improves sperm motility and viability (Bălăceanu et al., 2022 ). In another study, the addition of yeast Se to the diet of broiler breeder roosters (52 weeks old) showed that this compound improves sperm motility, viability and plasma membrane integrity (Raei et al., 2021 ).…”

BackgroundSelenium (Se) is a rare essential element that plays a vital role in the health and performance of animals. By interfering in the production of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin reductase and methionine sulfoxide, Se plays a role in reducing the effects of oxidative stress and animal performance.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effect of hydroxy‐selenomethionine (OH‐SeMet) in the diet of broiler breeder and old broiler breeder roosters on productive performance, reproduction and sperm quality parameters.MethodsFor this purpose, 260 broiler breeders of the Ross 308 strain were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replications (13 hens and one rooster in each replication). Experimental treatments included: (1) a basal diet without OH‐SeMet (T1:control), (2) a broiler breeder diet without OH‐SeMet and a rooster diet containing 0.1 mg/kg OH‐SeMet (T2), (3) broiler breeder diet containing 0.1 mg/kg OH‐SeMet and rooster diet without OH‐SeMet (T3) and (4) broiler breeder and rooster diet contained 0.1 mg/kg OH‐SeMet (T4).ResultsThe results showed that T3 and T4 treatments improved egg production, egg weight, egg mass and feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the control treatment (p < 0.05). The fertility and hatchability percentages of T4 and T2 treatments increased compared to T1 and T3 treatments (p < 0.05). The rate of embryonic losses in T1 was higher than in other treatments. However, grade one chickens were higher in T4 than in other treatments (p < 0.05). Total motility and viability of sperms were significantly higher in T2 and T4 treatments than in T1 and T3 treatments. The sperm abnormality percentage and sperm MDA concentration decreased in T2 and T4 treatments.ConclusionsTherefore, using OH‐SeMet may be a practical approach to help old broiler breeders’ production and reproduction performance.

“…The research revealed that the amount of vitamins A and E eliminated through the seminal plasma increases in the case of the vitamin supplemented roosters, again higher concentrations in the case of vitamin E. This could explain the improvement of some biological properties (motility, for example) of the spermatozoa in the vitamin supplemented groups. Previous studies of Bălăceanu et al (2022) revealed similar accumulations of vitamin E in liver and adipose tissue, but at a dietary intake of about four times higher. Our study reveals that vitamin E is stored in similar amounts even in the case of a quantitatively reduced, but long-term dietary intake.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of long-term vitamin A and E dietary supplements on the semen traits and morphology of the reproductive system in older roosters to prolong their reproductive contributions to the flock. The research revealed that long-term dietary supplementation of both vitamins A and E maintained the traits of the semen at levels significantly higher than in the control roosters. Vitamin A especially maintained ejaculate volume and semen density, while vitamin E protected semen motility and viability. Vitamin A treatment maintained the uniformity of the epididymal epithelium. No eroded areas were identified in this epithelium. Most epithelial cells were principal cells with uniform stereocilia. The connective tissue which lines the epididymal tubule of the vitamin A treated rooster was thinner than those of the roosters from the control. Vitamin E predominantly protected the structure of the spermatogenesis line. Liver tissue concentrations of vitamins A and E were two times and four times higher respectively than the control. The two vitamins were eliminated in increased quantities through the seminal plasma in supplemented roosters. No mutual inhibition or potentiating effects were found between the two vitamins, suggesting that their combined administration should be further analyzed.

“…Включення Селену до складу комбікормів поліпшує здоров'я, підвищує яєчну продуктивність промислового стада птиці та ефективність використання нею кормів (Muhammad et al, 2021). Оптимізація селенового живлення птиці позитивно впливає на інкубаційні якості яєць, зокрема сприяє підвищенню їх заплідненості, виводимості та виведення молодняку, а також покращує якість сперми як у молодих, так і старих самців (Zia et al, 2016;Bălăceanu et al, 2022).…”

In recent years, many countries worldwide have been revising the existing standards for introducing trace elements in mixed feed for high-performance crosses and poultry breeds, taking into account new scientific data. This also applies to Selenium, which is recognized as an indispensable biotic ultramicroelement according to the modern classification. The norms for introducing selenium into mixed feed for broiler chickens have specific differences and range from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg of feed, which are recommended in different countries and at other times. The reason for the disagreement is probably that the experiments were conducted under different conditions, against the background of different diets, on different poultry crosses, and using other selenium-containing compounds. In addition, the norms of selenium additives recommended by foreign and domestic scientists in mixed feed for broiler chickens are not always supported by mathematical calculations, and, in our opinion, they should be evaluated as indicative, requiring further justification and clarification depending on the regional characteristics of poultry feeding. Two scientific and economic experiments were conducted to determine the optimal rate of introducing selenium into mixed feed for broiler chickens, which lasted 42 days each. The study was conducted on broiler chickens of the Coob 500 cross. Selenium was additionally introduced into mixed feeds for broiler chickens of the experimental groups in doses of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mg/kg. Poultry in the control group did not receive Selenium supplementation. Statistical processing of experimental data obtained in two scientific and economic experiments, using graphical, variance, and regression analysis methods, allows us to conclude that the optimal dose of Selenium administration in mixed feed for broiler chickens should be considered 0.3 mg/kg. Feeding broiler chickens during the growing period of mixed feed enriched with Selenium in this amount contributed to a likely increase in their live weight in the first experiment by 7.8 % (Р < 0.001), in the second by 5.1 % (Р < 0.01), compared to the control group. Higher doses of Selenium (0.4 and 0.5 mg/kg) in mixed feed, as well as a lower dose (0.2 mg/kg), caused less intensive growth and lower live weight of broiler chickens of other experimental groups, compared to young animals fed mixed feed with the addition of selenium 0.3 mg/kg.
