Selenium, as an essential dietary trace element, has an important biological role in the health and growth performance of cows and dairy cows. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing mineral selenium supplement with nano selenium particles in the feeding of suckling calves and its impacts on the growth performance and skeletal structure of suckling calves. The number of 32 newborn Holstein calves with an average body weight of 37.85 ± 4.35 kg in the form of a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (eight calves in each treatment) for 83 days according to the supplemental consumption of milk or drinking water with sources different selenium were placed. Treatments include: 1) inorganic selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with sodium selenite, 2) low level of nano selenium: providing 0.15 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium, 3) Medium level of nano-selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium, 4) High level of nano-selenium: providing 0.45 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium. . The results showed that supplementing milk with selenium nanoparticles did not affect the performance of calves during the pre-weaning period, but significantly improved it after weaning compared to calves fed sodium selenite. So the daily gain and feed efficiency in the second period increased secondarily (p < 0.01) and the medium level was the highest

Treatments include: 1) mineral selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with sodium selenite source, 2) Low level of nano selenium: providing 0.15 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium source, 3 (Medium level of nano-selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium source, 4) High level of nano-selenium: providing 0.45 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium source. The results showed that improve the digestibility of protein and insoluble fibers in neutral detergent with nano-selenium. Ruminal ammonia nitrogen concentration in calves fed with rations supplemented with nano-selenium tended to decrease (p = 0.08) in a quadratic way, and its average level was the lowest. Acetate concentration for calves fed nano-selenium decreased (p < 0.01), while propionate concentration increased (p < 0.05) for calves fed nano-selenium. The results of this study showed that nano-selenium was effective in improving feed digestibility.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing mineral selenium supplements with nano selenium particles in the feeding of dairy calves and its effects on blood metabolites, and improving the growth performance and skeletal structure of infant calves. The number of 32 newborn Holstein calves with an average body weight of 37.85 ± 4.35 kg in the form of a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (eight calves in each treatment) for 83 days according to the supplemental consumption of milk or drinking water with sources Different selenium were placed. Treatments include: 1) inorganic selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with sodium selenite, 2) low level of nano selenium: providing 0.15 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium, 3 (Medium level of nano-selenium: providing 0.3 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium, 4) High level of nano-selenium: providing 0.45 mg of selenium per kilogram of dry matter with nanoparticles prepared from selenium. The results showed that the calves that received nano selenium had no significant difference in the parameters of aspartate transferase and alanine transaminase compared to sodium selenite. The concentration of glutathione peroxidase in 42 days in nano selenium treatments increased and malondialdehyde decreased linearly significantly compared to mineral selenium (P=0.03). The results of this study showed that nano selenium was effective in improving the antioxidant status of calf blood during post-weaning.

Selenium and hydrogen sulfide can alleviate the adverse effects of oxidative stress on plants by improving the oxidative defense system. In order to improve the oxidative defense system of garlic under lead and salinity stress by selenium and hydrogen sulfide, a factorial experiment was carried out using selenium and hydrogen sulfide in a completely randomized design with three replications. Experimental treatments included sodium chloride at three levels of zero, 25 and 75 mM, lead at three concentrations of zero, 10-5 and 10-3 M lead nitrate as well as stress ameliorators in three levels (5 mg / L sodium selenate, 200 μm sodium hydrogen sulfide and control). The results showed that with increasing salinity and lead concentration, a significant decrease in root length and dry weight was observed. In the treatment of 10-5 M lead under 75 mM salinity, the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase were 4.44, 11.76 and 10.47%, respectively, and compared to the zero lead stress and 75 mM, salinity was improved with selenium application. In general, sodium selenate and sodium hydrogen sulfide decreased the uptake of lead in root tissue whereas increased the length and dry weight of roots under salinity stress at a concentration of 10-5 M, but at a concentration of 10-3 M lead, this effect was not observed. Overall results showed that the positive effect of selenium on hydrogen sulfide during salinity stress was more evident in reducing the negative effects of lead. It seemed that selenium suppressant improved the growth parameters of garlic roots under salinity stress and low lead concentrations by reducing lead absorption and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar application of sodium selenate and sodium selenite and different flowering stages on growth indices of Echium amoenum Fisch. & Mey as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized block design with three replications in 1397 in northern Iran. Treatments included foliar application of sodium selenate and sodium selenite with four levels (2, 4, 8 and 16 mg/l). Also, the plant without foliar application was considered as a control treatment. Foliar application was done in four stages: two true leaves, ten true leaves, two weeks before flowering and one week before flowering. Fresh and dry weight of shoots, flowers and roots, plant height, number of leaves, flowers and flowering stems in the plant and the length of the highest root at different stages of flower harvest (beginning of flowering, mid-flowering and end of flowering) were evaluated. The results of this study showed that the effect of selenium sources and flowering stages significantly affected the growth indices of Iranian borage. The highest fresh and dry shoot weight, plant height, number of leaves and flowering stems, at the end of flowering and in the treatment of 4 mg/l sodium selenate and the highest fresh and dry weight of flowers and number of flowers in the middle of flowering and in the treatment of 4 mg/l Sodium selenate was obtained, also the highest fresh and dry weight of roots and the length of the highest roots were obtained at the end of flowering and in the treatment of 8 mg/l sodium selenate. In general, the results of this experiment showed that the concentration of 4 mg/l sodium selenate significantly increased the morphological characteristics of the plant, while its higher concentration had a negative effect on the growth characteristics of Echium amoenum Fisch. & Mey

A study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of selenium nanoparticles and sodium selenite on the antioxidant status, enzymatic activity and plasma lipid parameters of Pullet Chickswith 1050 birds in 7 treatments for 6 weeks. The treatments included three levels of 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 (ppm) sodium selenite and nano selenium. The antioxidant indices measured in the heart, liver and plasma include glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAS). Activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured and lipid parameters including total triglyceride, total cholesterol and plasma LDL were determined. The results showed that sodium selenite and selenium nanoparticles significantly increased the activity of glutathione peroxidase and reduced levels of malondialdehyde in the plasma, heart and liver. The highest antioxidant effect was related to 0.6 ppm sodium selenium and 0.3 ppm selenium nanoparticles. There was no significant effect on total antioxidant capacity of plasma, heart and liver in experimental group (P<0.05) .There was no significant effect of experimental treatments on plasma enzyme activity (P<0.05). Sodium selenite and selenium nanoparticles at levels of 0.3 and 0.6 ppm significantly decreased triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL in the plasma of birds (P<0.05). Conclusion 0.3 ppm of selenium nanoparticles and 0.6 ppm of Sodium selenitecan be successfully used to improve the antioxidant status and reduce plasma bad fats.
