| Özet |
| An adequate dietary intake of minerals (macro-and micronutrients) is fundamental for any cellular life on earth. Among micronutrients, selenium has been the subject of a continuous debate when it comes to human as well as animal nutrition. From toxicity to deficiency, research on selenium has come a long way since its discovery in 1817 by the Swedish chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius (Cobo-Angel et al. 2014). Like any other animal enterprise, selenium is shown to be an indispensable element in dairy nutrition promoting the overall health status of animal viz. improving gut health, regulating immune system, balancing thyroid hormones, contributing to disease resistance and boosting reproductive performance (Séboussi et al. 2016; Arshad et al. 2021; Xiao et al. 2021). All these vital roles of selenium originate from the fact that it is incorporated in range of selenoproteins (Labunskyy et al. 2014) which are directly or indirectly involved in antioxidant defences (Sun et al. 2019). Research has established that synthesis of selenoproteins is affected by the nutritional level of selenium (Han et al. 2021). Thus, low levels of selenium in diet or, more precisely reduced selenoprotein synthesis in body ultimately affects various metabolic processes (Pedrero and Madrid 2009). Dietary supplementation of different selenium compounds to farm animals also enhance the nutritional quality of final food product. All these valuable contributions in livestock make selenium a fascinating nutrient, and any half-measures in its supplementation would have far reaching consequences other than compromised animal health and production (Salman et al. 2013; Ianni et al … |
