Article Synopsis
- Laying hens, particularly egg-type chicks, are at risk of heart issues due to dietary selenium (Se) insufficiency, which has been shown to affect cardiac health in broiler chickens.
- In this study, White Leghorn chicks were fed diets either lacking in Se or supplemented with it, revealing significant differences in heart health and body weight, with Se-deficient chicks showing signs of cardiac inflammation and reduced selenoprotein expression.
- The research indicates that a lack of selenium leads to increased inflammatory markers and oxidative stress in the hearts of these chicks, highlighting the critical role of Se in maintaining cardiac health early in life.
