The Effect of Selenium Treatment on the Weight Gains of Lambs.
Two trials were conducted with lambs to evaluate the growth promoting effects of selenium administered orally at a level of 5 mg per month during the pasture season. No statistically significant effect on weight gains was found to be attributable to selenium administration in either the single lamb or the twin lamb experiment. In both trials there was a trend in the data that suggested a deleterious effect of selenium on weight gains.
