SEL-PLEX

Now that Sel-Plex has achieved EU authorisation for use in all diets, your animals can enjoy the health and performance benefits of organic selenium supplementation through GP Feeds minerals.

Selenium deficiency is widely acknowledged across Europe due to the dearth of naturally occurring selenium in the soil. Sel-Plex provides selenium in the form nature intended. It is an effective tool in promoting immune function in high yielding cows. Research on feeding Sel-Plex to cows has shown a lower incidence of problems such as mastitis, high cell counts and metritis. Feeding organic selenium also helps to boost fertility and calf survivability.

Unlike inorganic or synthetic variants of selenium that are excreted after ingestion before being put to work, Sel-Plex is stored by the body and released as the animal requires it. Sel-Plex is protected from degradation in the rumen as it is held in peptide form within the protein of the yeast cells.

It is interesting to note at the time organic selenium was withdrawn for feeding to animals, the EU Commission had already granted a derogation for the use of organic selenium for humans. The decision was largely based on recognition in the scientific community that organic selenium is a safer selenium source than sodium selenite. Organic selenium is a powerful antioxidant and is recommended in the fight against cancer.

Where immunity suppression has occurred in your cows, then Sel-Plex must be included in your minerals.
