Abstract
Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine selenium (Se)
concentration in the blood serum of dairy cows and to establish
its influence on the level of production and reproduction traits.
Materials and Methods: The study was performed on the farm
located in Western Pomerania - Poland and involved 120 cows, which
were selected using the analog method on the basis of their
physiological state, lactation number, milk yield, age, and
genotype. The following indices were analyzed in individual
groups: Calving interval, gestation interval, insemination index,
standstill of placenta. Se concentration in the blood serum was
determined with the spectrofluorometric method.
Results: The mean serum Se concentration was in cows 0.038
μg/ml. The use of Se preparations
has raised fertility, which was documented statistically.
Conclusion: The study revealed that the problem of Se
deficiency is still present in some dairy cattle herds in Western
Pomerania - Poland.
Keywords: dairy cows, fertility rates, selenium, serum.
