"The hypothesis that excess dietary selenite ameliorates lead (Pb)\ntoxicosis in domestic sheep was tested. Twenty 6-8-yr-old ewes fed\nalfalfa pellets were assigned to the following treatments: (1) control;\n(2) 9.8 mg Pb/kg body weight (b.w.)/d as PbCO3; (3) 3 mg Se/anirnal/d\nas Na2SeO3?·5H2O; or (4) a combination of treatments 2 and 3. The\ngelatin-encapsulated salts were given orally. The study was terminated\non d 104, by which time three animals in the Pb group and all\nfive animals in the Pb + Se group had died. All remaining animals\nwere slaughtered on d 104. Lead and Se concentrations were determined\nin six biweekly-collected blood samples and in soft tissues and\nbone. Sheep on the control and Se treatments had similar feed intakes,\nbody weights, and tissue Pb levels. Those in the Pb + Se group\nhad lower feed intake, but higher blood Pb values compared with the\nPb group. Feeding either element increased (P < 0.05) the concentration\nof that element in blood, kidney, liver, spleen, and bone.\nMuscle-Pb concentrations were not affected (P < 0.05) by treatment.\nSelenium concentrations in kidney, liver, and muscle were greater (P\n< 0.05), whereas those in heart were less (P < 0.05) for the Pb + Se\ngroup than for the Se Group. Clinical signs associated with Pb toxicosis\nnoted in other animals were not observed in the poisoned sheep in\nthis study. Selenite did not protect sheep against Pb toxicity and\nlikely served as a synergistic factor."^^ . "1986" . . "10" . . "Biological Trace Element Research"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "R.P."^^ .
