Leukocyte function was significantly reduced in pregnant cows supplemented with 0.135 mg/kg/day selenium for 3 months from diets that contained 0.25 (control), 6, or 12 ppm selenium as sodium selenite. Treated animals showed a significant decrease in forced antibody production and a depression in mitogenic response compared with controls (0.005 mg selenium/kg/day) (Yaeger et al. 1998). No clinical signs of selenium toxicosis were observed in any of the cows during the experiment.
