ABSTRACT



The aim of the research was to measure the activity of GSH-Px in the blood of lamb being fed selenium in sodium selenite and selenium yeast to concentrate mixtures. The value of GSH-Px identified in the final stage of the experiment in all feeding groups was clearly higher that at the beginning (P < 0.01). Application of all selenium compounds used in the experiment to lambs in feed clearly influenced the increase of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in lamb blood (P < 0.01). The lambs receiving 0.3 mg Se/kg DM in feed in the form of sodium selenite and selenium yeast (groups I and III) showed higher (by 269.15 and 254.12 U/gHb respectively) glutathione peroxidase activity. The animals that were given selenium yeast in the amount of 0.2 mg Se/kg DM in feed, the activity of this enzyme was higher by 203.12 U/gHb.

Key words: glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),selenium, inorganic and organic forms, lambs.
