Sel-Plex® - Organic Selenium

Alltech’s organic selenium, Sel-Plex® received free choice allowance in livestock diets from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sel-Plex is an organic selenium yeast produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060. The use of Sel-Plex in free-choice minerals can help areas with Selenium deficiency in forages and pastures. Studies have shown that Selenium is key in supporting normal reproductive function, reproductive status of bulls, calf health, stress due to weaning and feedlot receiving, meat quality, shelf life and the nutritional value of meat. Selenium plays an important role in beef cattle diets.

Sel-Plex is a unique form of selenium as it is presented in the same forms that are naturally present in plants. Organic selenium is more digestible than inorganic forms and better retained, which lets the animal build nutrient reserves against periods of increased demand without risking toxicity. Selenium yeast has received allowance for use in chicken diets, followed by turkey, swine, goat, sheep, equine, beef and dairy feeds, and dog diets.
