Effects of Dietary Nano-Selenium Supplementation on the Performance of Layer Grower Birds

P. Mohapatra, R.K. Swain, S.K. Mishra, T. Behera, P. Swain, N.C. Behura, G. Sahoo, K. Sethy, B.P. Bhol and K. Dhama
To study the comparative effects of Nano Selenium (Nano-Se) and sodium selenite on the growth, bioavailability, antioxidative activities, hematological and biochemical parameters, cellular and humoral immunity, a trial was conducted on BV 300 layer birds during grower phase (9-20 after weeks) in six treated groups. After twenth weeks body weight of the all Nano-Se treated groups (up to a dose of 0.3 mg kg-1 of diet) was found to be significantly (p<0.05) higher than sodium selenite treated and control groups. However, further increase in dietary Nano-Se content in feed had negative effect on body weight of bird. Birds fed with both Nano-Se and sodium selenite showed higher (p<0.05) Se content in different tissues (Such as breast muscle, liver, kidney, pancreas, serum and feathers). However, Se content in liver, breast muscle, pancrease and feathers were signifcantly higher (p<0.05) in Nano-Se treated groups. In addition, significant (p<0.05) difference was observed as regard to glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), erythrocyte catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities among the treated groups. Significantly better cellular and humoral immunity response were observed in Se supplemented birds. Dietary supplementation of Nano-Se improved the body weight, feed consumption ratio, antioxidant status, immunity and tissue Se deposition in grower birds.
