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.

Recent Developments in the Roles of Vitamins and Minerals in Reproduction

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

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.

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.

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.

Phospholipid composition of tissues in calves suffering from nutritional muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: The linoleic acid concentration was increased in muscular dystrophy in both phospholipid fractions of all tissues investigated and the concentration of arachidonic acid was significantly increased in the phosphatidyl ethanolamine of skeletal muscle.

A note on the prevention of nutritional muscular dystrophy by winter silage feeding of the cow or selenium implantation of the calf

TL;DR: There was no evidence either clinically, biochemically (SGOT) or at post-mortem examination, of any nutritional muscular dystrophy (NMD) disorder in the 34 calves, despite very low plasma selenium levels.
