MINERALS PROFILE OF SOME BROILER CHICKEN TISSUES AND ORGANS CONSECUTIVE SELENIUM INTAKE

The main goal of our paper was to determine the consequences of selenium intake (0.2 ppm as selenium selenite) on mineral profile of some broiler chicken (Ross) tissues/organs. Scarcity of studies on reference ranges for various minerals in different tissues was the secondary reason of our study. Ou...

Summary:The main goal of our paper was to determine the consequences of selenium intake (0.2 ppm as selenium selenite) on mineral profile of some broiler chicken (Ross) tissues/organs. Scarcity of studies on reference ranges for various minerals in different tissues was the secondary reason of our study. Our results highlighted significant variations on minerals content from studied samples: blood - Cu, Mn, Fe; faeces - Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg; muscular stomach - Fe, Zn, Ca; liver - Fe, Mg, Ca, Na; kidney - Cu, Mg, Ca, Na, K; lung - Cu, Fe, Mg; gonades - Fe, Zn, Na; brain - Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Mg; heart - Fe, Ca, Na; pectoral muscles - Cu, Fe, Co; leg muscles - Cu, Mn, Na; fat tissue - Fe, Co, K; long bone (tibia) - Mn, Fe, Ca; cranium - Co, Mg, Ca; sternum - Cu, Fe, Co, Zn; skin - Cu, Mg, K; feathers - Mn, Fe, Zn, Mg, Ca, K. Consecutive to selenium treatment, the highest registered level of minerals was: Fe in lung, liver and feaces; Co in brain and gonades; Zn in feather and kidney; Mg in cranium, tibia and muscles; Ca in sternum, tibia and cranium; Na in kidney and muscles; K in liver and muscles. The lowest level of minerals was: Fe in fat tissues and blood; Co in blood; Zn in sternum, fat tissues and blood; Mg in fat tissue and skin; Ca in blood; Na in fat tissue; K in fat tissue, feather and skin.
