Abstract

Selenium yeast was used to increase Se content in the diet of calves to 0.69 mg/kg. Feeding Se-yeast resulted in two-fold higher Se concentration in meat, as much as 0.69 mg/kg. The oxidative stability of meat was improved, thus feeding Se-yeast to calves represents a means for improving the nutritional value of veal.
