SELENIUM PLUS

Selenium and zinc are essential trace elements that play critical roles in metabolic, immune, and reproductive functions in ruminants. Deficiencies in these minerals can lead to serious disorders such as muscular dystrophy, poor hoof health, reduced fertility, and compromised immunity, which can negatively impact both animal health and farm productivity.

Composition and Bioavailability
SELENIUM PLUS is enriched with organic Selenium, Zinc Chelate, and Cobalt, forms that are highly bioavailable and efficiently absorbed in the digestive tract. This ensures that ruminants receive adequate levels of these critical micronutrients, even under conditions where feed quality or soil mineral content may be insufficient.

Health and Metabolic Benefits
Selenium functions as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that protects cells against oxidative stress, maintaining muscle integrity and reducing the risk of white muscle disease (muscular dystrophy). Selenium also supports liver function and aids in metabolic regulation during late pregnancy and lactation, periods of high oxidative and metabolic demand.

Zinc is essential for keratin synthesis, enzyme activation, and immune competence. It promotes healthy hoof growth, skin integrity, and wool quality, while contributing to the proper function of over 300 enzymatic systems involved in growth, reproduction, and immune defense.

Cobalt is vital for the ruminal synthesis of Vitamin B₁₂, which is necessary for efficient carbohydrate and protein metabolism. This improves feed conversion efficiency and supports overall energy balance, particularly in growing, lactating, or stressed animals.

Practical Applications
SELENIUM PLUS is ideally administered as a licking block, allowing animals to self-regulate intake and ensuring consistent daily consumption of essential trace elements. It is suitable for all classes of livestock, including young, pregnant, lactating, or high-producing animals, and is especially beneficial in regions where soils and forage are low in Selenium and Zinc.

Reproductive and Performance Benefits
By supporting muscle function, immune competence, and vitamin synthesis, SELENIUM PLUS contributes to higher fertility rates, healthier offspring, and improved milk production. It also enhances disease resistance, particularly against metabolic and infectious challenges such as mastitis, reducing losses and improving overall herd performance.

Conclusion
SELENIUM PLUS represents a scientifically formulated solution for trace mineral supplementation in ruminants. Its organic Selenium and Zinc Chelate content, combined with Cobalt, ensures optimal absorption and bioavailability, supporting muscle health, hoof integrity, immune function, and reproductive efficiency. Regular use of SELENIUM PLUS helps maintain productive, healthy, and resilient livestock, making it an essential component of modern, science-based feeding programs.
