Dietary contamination with aflatoxin B (AFB), which can lead to severe liver damage, poses a great threat to livestock and poultry breeding and has detrimental impacts on food safety. Selenomethionine (SeMet), with anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and detoxifying effects, is regarded as a beneficial food additive. However, whether SeMet can reduce AFB-induced liver injury and intestinal microbial disorders in rabbits remains to be revealed.
