TLDR
The current nutritional status of ruminant animals in many geographical areas and involving various feeding programs with this element has not been established, and the recent widespread deficiency problems with nonruminants suggest that such an assessment should be made.About:

Recent Developments in the Roles of Vitamins and Minerals in Reproduction
Walter L. Hurley,R.M. Doane +1 more
TL;DR: The interface between nutritional science and reproductive physiology provides considerable potential for optimizing reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle and it attempts to provide a basis for further investigation of specific mechanisms by which reproductive function is affected.

Selenoprotein synthesis and side-effects of statins
Bernd Moosmann,Christian Behl +1 more
TL;DR: A negative effect of statin on selenoprotein synthesis does seem to explain many of the enigmatic effects and side-effects of statins, in particular, statin-induced myopathy.

Relationships among selenium, vitamin E, and mammary gland health in commercial dairy herds.
TL;DR: Nine well-managed dairy herds were monitored for 1 yr to determine if bulk tank SCC and rate of clinical mastitis were associated with dietary and plasma Se and vitamin E status, confirming earlier findings that Se anditamin E status of dairy cows are related to mammary gland health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of selenium and the effects of its deficiency in animal health
TL;DR: The relationships between foetus Se metabolism and pregnant dam Se status are critical for productivity and need further research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of selenium in male reproduction—A review
TL;DR: Gene knock-out studies of selenoproteins revealed that their absence during spermatogenesis results in abnormal spermatozoa, which in turn affects semen quality and fertility and should be in optimal quantity to maintain reproductive function in males and to avoid infertility.

Can selenoamino acids act as reversible biological antioxidants
TL;DR: Selenium, long known for its toxic properties, was not recognized to have beneficial effects until the middle of the 20th century, when it was demonstrated that liver necrosis in rats and exudative diathesis in chickens, symptoms characteristic of vitamin E deficiency, could be prevented by small amounts of selenite.

The effect of selenium on infertility in ewes grazing improved pastures
TL;DR: Trials conducted in South Australia, in an area where pasture improvement by means of the introduction of subterranean clovers has been practised for 10-15 years, have shown a significant improvement in fertility, in ewes treated with selenium, with results discussed in relation to the problem of infertility associated with the grazing of improved pastures.

Selenium supplementation of naturally high selenium diets for swine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium in animal nutrition
TL;DR: In Australia these conditions occur more frequently in high rainfall areas and on soils originating in non-sedimentary rocks and they would appear to have been aggravated by certain pasture improvement techniques and by intensive husbandry as mentioned in this paper.

Abnormal electrocardiograms, blood pressure changes, and some aspects of the histopathology ofselenium deficiency in lambs
K. O. Godwin,F. J. Fraser +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the histopathological picture of the lamb and the rat, when both species are reared on the same diet, indicates that entirely different syndromes appear, at first sight, to develop.
