Abstract

An experiment was conducted on 12 male kids (about 2-3 months of age and 6.30 ± 0.39 kg average body weight) to elucidate the effect of supplementation of sodium selenite on their serum mineral profile. Kids were randomly divided into two equal groups and fed a basal diet consisted of concentrate mixture and paddy straw to meet their nutrient requirement. Group I served as control (without any supplementation), whereas animals in group II were supplemented with 0.3 mg selenium kg-1DM as sodium selenite. Experimental feeding lasted for a period of 90 days, during which blood samples were collected on day 0 and 90 days of the experimental feeding to study the serum mineral profile of kids. Results revealed significant (P<0.05) increased in serum selenium concentration in sodium selenite supplemented group than control. Serum calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc, manganese were similar (P>0.05) among the two groups. It may be concluded that supplementation of 0.3 ppm Se as sodium selenite enhanced the serum Se concentration with out affecting other serum minerals of kids.
