| Why
to use Selenium?
The
organic selenium has a high availability when compared to inorganic
forms. Both ruminants and non-ruminants can absorb organic Se easily,
but inorganic Se can't be absorbed by ruminants in selenide form.
The protein content and quality in animal feeds can influence the
uptake of dietary Se and its bioavailability.
Se yeast provides Se in an organic form like selenomethionine and
selenocystine.
Se yeast is readily assimilated by animals, provides the needed
protection against degradative cell processes and enhances the immunocompetence
of your animals Protective effects on the liver and other tissues
Prevent oxidative damage of the cell membrane and subsequent
Premature aging of the cell
Prevent diseases as muscular dystrophy, pancreatic fibrosis, ventriculus
myopathy, exudative diathesis and others.

Description:
The discovery that Se is an integral component of glutathione peroxidase
was made by Rotruck et al (1973). The selenium, as an essential
part of GSH-Px, reduces already formed hydro peroxides to less reactive
alcohols (Pehrson, 1992).
The GSH-Px catalyses the reduction of lipid peroxides before they
can attack cellular membranes. The enzyme is capable of reducing
different peroxides generated within a biological system by using
the reducing equivalents derived from the reduced form of glutathione
according to the following general equation (Combs and Combs 1984):
ROOH + 2 GSHàROH + H2O + GS-SG.
The most important biological activity of selenium is through the
enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which, in co-operation with vitamin
E and several other antioxidative agents, is capable of reducing
the destructive effects on living cells of peroxidative reactions.
