Selenium is directly linked to animal well-being and lactation. Selenium is required daily to offset deficiencies in our herbage and soils. It also reduces retained afterbirth and promotes immune function. Our country's soils are generally so deficient in selenium that the addition of selenium to a New Zealand farmed animal is a mandatory function.

Selenium is an essential trace element that acts at the cellular level in certain enzyme systems. Working with Vitamin E, it assists to regulate metabolic oxidation processes in the body. Selenium status of the foetus can be improved by supplementing the mother as the element can be passed to the foetus.

A selenium deficiency can result in an ineffective reproduction system, low immune system, low milk production, white muscle disease, and general ill-thrift.
