Selenium Supplementation Restores Innate and Humoral Immune Responses in Footrot-Affected Sheep

Creator:

Hall, Jean A., Vorachek, William R., Stewart, Whitney C., Gorman, M. Elena, Mosher, Wayne D., Pirelli, Gene J., and Bobe, Gerd

Abstract:

Dietary selenium (Se) alters whole-blood Se concentrations in sheep, dependent upon Se source and dosage administered, but little is known about effects on immune function. We used footrot (FR) as a disease model to test the effects of supranutritional Se supplementation on immune function. To determine the effect of Se-source...

Effect of Feeding Selenium-Fertilized Alfalfa Hay on Performance of Weaned Beef Calves

Creator:

Hall, Jean A., Bobe, Gerd, Hunter, Janice K., Vorachek, William R., Stewart, Whitney C., Vanegas, Jorge A., Estill, Charles T., Mosher, Wayne D., and Pirelli, Gene J.

Abstract:

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient in cattle, and Se-deficiency can affect morbidity and mortality. Calves may have greater Se requirements during periods of stress, such as during the transitional period between weaning and movement to a feedlot. Previously, we showed that feeding Se-fertilized forage increases whole-blood (WB) Se concentrations...
