Physiological response of the morphological characteristics of mammalian blood to the intake of selenium preparations into the body

Abstract

In the course of numerous studies, the great importance of the trace element selenium for the optimum organism of mammals, including those that are farm animals, has been recognized. Therefore, in modern studies, special attention is paid to the study of the presence of selenium in the diet of animals and parallels are drawn between the level of selenium in feed and the state of the productive and breed characteristics of different animals. Enrichment of feed with selenium in males of different animal species seems promising. The influence of some selenium-containing preparations on the cellular composition of the blood of sire bulls was evaluated. It was found that when a sufficient amount of selenium is introduced into their feed in the form of selenopyran or sodium selenite, physiologically beneficial changes in the morphological parameters of blood develop. It becomes clear that in bulls-producers against the background of the introduction of tested selenium-containing agents in the feed ration, the general resistance of the organism increases, which inevitably leads to an improvement in the quality of sperm production.
