Abstract
Interaction of Se supplementation with sulphur and magnesium in blood plasma were studied in dairy cows. Cows were divided into three groups : (1) control, no treatment; (2) cows injected intramuscularly 21-10 d prior to parturition with 45 mg Se and 2040 IU of vitamin E; (3) cows intraruminally administered with two 30-g pellets containing 10% elem ental Se 2 mo prior to expected calving. There were no significant eff ects of Se supplementation on the plasma levels of sulphur and magnesi um.
