Abstract: | Chronic selenium (Se) toxicosis was diagnosed in two groups of growing pigs. Emaciation, loss of hair, necrotic areas in the skin, lesions of the coronary band and hooves, postnecrotic atrophic cirrhosis of liver, and lumbal poliomyelomalacia were the principal findings. High Se concentrations were detected in blood plasma. Addition of the calculated amounts of sodium selenite directly to the feedstuff instead to mineral premix was the cause of this intoxication. |
