Figure 2. Comparison of whole-blood Se concentrations (mean ± SEM) in weaned beef calves consuming alfalfa hay grown in fields not fertilized with Se (0 g Se/ha), or harvested from fields fertilized with sodium-selenate at an application rate of 22.5, 45.0, or 89.9 g Se/ha for 7 wk (n = 15 calves per group).
The normal reference interval for whole-blood Se concentrations of beef cattle is 120 to 300 ng/mL.
