Effects of Supplemental Selenium Source (Feed vs. Water) on Hematology, Serum Biochemistry, and Stress Biomarkers in Uda Rams

Key Points

• Hematology and serum biochemistry profiles show significant variations depending on the selenium source used.
• Selenium supplementation through feed resulted in better stress biomarker regulation compared to water supplementation.
• Assessment of blood samples focused on analyzing hematologic and biochemical responses in Uda rams over a six-week period.
• This highlights a potential for optimizing livestock health and productivity through dietary selenium adjustments.
