Effects of Coated Sodium Selenite Supplementation on the Milk Yield, Apparent Digestibility, Rumen Fermentation, Blood Biochemical Parameters and Antioxidant Parameters in Dairy Buffaloes

Coated sodium selenite (CSS) is a rumen-protected selenium supplement that can improve selenium status and lactation performance in buffalo. This study investigated the effects of CSS supplementation on milk yield, rumen fermentation, digestibility, blood biochemical parameters, and antioxidant capacity in 28 dairy hybrid buffaloes (Murrah × local breed; milk yield = 5.96 ± 0.21 kg/d; parity = 2.96 ± 0.15, mean ± SD). The buffaloes were …
