1. Vitamin E and Selenium are needed by poultry as they enhance fertility and hatchability.  They combat free radical formation leading to a higher disease resistance by the birds

• They help in increasing the size of eggs laid
• Vitamin E ensures Vitamin E concentration in the egg yolk
• They increase the nutritional value of poultry meat and egg
• They prevent development of encephalomalacia/crazy chick disease
• They prevent the problems of impaired feed conversion

Deficiency of Vitamin E and Selenium is hardly detectable sub-clinically but leads to the following:

• Higher susceptibility to infectious diseases
• Retarded growth and impaired feed conversion
• Fatal aberrant development of the brain (encephalomalacia – crazy chick syndrome)
• Diminished fertility
• Reduced stress resistance
• Liver necrosis
• Disorders of the cellular membrane

Benefits of Using Vit E/ Selenium in Poultry Birds

These are:

• High quality of eggshell
• Combats free radicals in birds and enhance disease resistance
• Improvement of chick viability
• Helps to maintain and sustain the integrity of the structural tissue
• Essential for growth and reproduction
• Supports the development of the nervous system
• Ensures vitamin E concentration in egg yolk
• Enhances the nutritional value of meat and egg
• It helps in better transfer of Vit E+ Selenium to egg and semen leading to improvement of egg quality
