Organic trace minerals for dairy cattle
The average dairy cow is not meeting her genetic potential. Reaching genetic potential begins with feeding dairy cows correctly at every life stage, including before birth. Including a selenium supplement in the diet is crucial for the profitability of the herd. Selenium deficiency in dairy cows is related to various diseases, along with decreased productive and reproductive performance.
Benefits of organic selenium in dairy cows:
- Supports metabolic processes
- Supports reproductive health and herd longevity
- Acts as an antioxidant
- Protects the integrity of tissues
- Protects muscles from degeneration
- Supports against infection
- Supports fertility/conception rates

Organic trace minerals for beef cattle
Most of the world’s agricultural areas are in regions where feed and forages have suboptimal selenium levels. Selenium deficiency in beef cattle can cause serious issues, including hoof health, respiratory, disease and mastitis challenges, which can affect overall profitability.
Benefits of organic selenium in beef cattle:
- Supports antioxidant status
- Supports normal reproductive function
- Supports meat quality and nutritional value of meat
- Promotes proper reproductive health
- Promotes disease defense
- Improves response to respiratory and disease challenges

Organic trace minerals for poultry
Selenium deficiency in poultry diets can lead to several adverse effects, such as poor feathering, reduced egg production, suppressed immunity and diseases that can cause significant profit losses for a poultry operation. Sel-Plex, an organic selenium yeast, better meets the needs of modern-day birds and has a practical impact on poultry health and performance.
Benefits of organic selenium in poultry:
- Chick health
- Feather quality
- Healthy antioxidant status
- Eggshell quality (increased freshness and thickness)
- Egg production
- Nutritional value of meat
- Reproduction
- Maintenance of the body’s defense system

Organic trace minerals for pigs
Selenium deficiency in pigs can cause slower growth rates, diseases and even death among young piglets. Selenium toxicity in pigs (an excess of selenium) has been known to interfere with the absorption and utilization of other essential trace minerals, such as zinc. Sel-Plex is an organic selenium yeast, proven to enhance performance by providing selenium in a form naturally present in plants and more digestible than inorganic forms.
Benefits of organic selenium in pigs:
- Supports reproductive health and sow longevity
- Promotes piglet viability
- Optimizes immune response and antioxidant status
- Improves meat quality and the nutritional value of meat
- Has improved FCR, ADG and carcass weight

Organic trace minerals for aquaculture
Selenium deficiency in aquaculture diets can lead to several adverse effects, such as poor growth rate, decreased performance, suppressed immunity and diseases that can lead to significant profit losses. Sel-Plex, an organic selenium yeast, delivers a superior source of selenium with the benefits of antioxidants. Hence, there is great potential to increase the efficiency of fish and shrimp production through selenium nutrition.
Benefits of organic selenium in salmon:
- Improves meat quality
- Improved pigmentation
- Higher growth rate
- Reduced filet gaping
- Increased selenium muscle content
Benefits of organic selenium in tilapia:
Tilapia for breeding:
- Improves performance of progeny
- Improves feed conversion ratio (FCR)
- Higher fry survival %
- Higher weight gain
Tilapia for harvest:
- Higher weight gain
- Higher length gain
- Improved FCR
Benefits of organic selenium in shrimp:
- Supports growth
- Optimized immune performance
- Increased plasma protein levels
- Increased blood cell levels
- Higher selenium muscle content

Organic trace minerals for equine
Selenium deficiency in equine can cause problems such as impaired muscle function, heart health, immune function, growth and energy levels in your horse. Selenium toxicity in horses (an excess of selenium) has been known to interfere with appetite and digestion, muscle weakness and fever, among other risks. Sel-Plex is an organic selenium yeast, proven to enhance performance by providing selenium in a form naturally present in plants and more digestible than inorganic forms.
Benefits of organic selenium in equine:
- Colostrum quality and efficient transfer of selenium from mare to foal
- Nutritional status of the foal
- Normal reproductive function
- Exercise tolerance
- Performance of recreational horses
- Nutritional value of horse feeds and supplements
