Figure 10. The effect of Se-source and dosage on antibody titers to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Figure 10

Antibody titers to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) were assessed after 60 wk of Se supplementation in healthy and footrot (FR)-affected sheep receiving no Se treatment, Na-selenate at a dosage rate of 8.95 mg Se/wk per ewe, or Na-selenite and Se-Yeast at 4.9, 14.7, or 24.5 mg Se/wk per ewe for 62 wk. A) Weekly oral Se drenching improved KLH antibody titers in FR-affected ewes to titers that were similar to healthy ewes receiving no Se or healthy ewes receiving Se treatment. B) In FR-affected ewes, KLH antibody titers were greater in all Se-supplemented groups compared with the non supplemented group with the exception of the 24.5 mg/wk Na-selenite group. Different superscripts indicate group differences at P ≤ 0.10.
