Premium quality calf milk replacers providing high digestibility and performance. 100% instantized resulting in excellent mix-ability and suspension. Organic selenium is now in our calf milk replacers so your feed keeps pace with the genetic potential of your herd. This organic form of selenium is identical to those found naturally in plants. Organic selenium can be stored in the body for use when needed-during periods of stress and for muscle development. Calves are typically born selenium deficient. Feeding organic selenium in the dry cow ration and in your milk replacer will help improve the health of your calves.	26-15 Calf Accelerator Milk Replacer 26% protein from all-milk sources for maximizing lean muscle growth in young calves. 15% fat balanced to encourage earlier starter intakes. Fortified with important vitamins and chelated trace minerals. Formulated to be fed at higher rates to promote greater rates of gain in Holstein calves. 30611 50 lbs.

Selenium Supplementation In Calves

Selenium is an important trace mineral. Selenium supplementation has been found to improve reproduction, immunity, growth, muscle development and functions as an effective antioxidant in animal agriculture. It is typically supplemented at levels up to 0.3ppm.

The most common form of selenium that is supplemented in feeds is sodium selenite. Sodium selenite is commonly referred to as an inorganic source of selenium. This is in contrast to an organic form of selenium which is commonly bound to a protein (selenoprotein) or an amino acid. The practical difference between these two sources of selenium is in the absorption and biological use of selenium to the animal. The following chart shows this:

Source	Index	Bio-Availability
Sodium Selenite	100	34
Selenomethionine	245	84
Selenium Yeast	290	98+

Based on the above chart, taken from Milk Products, LLC, it is clear that a selenium yeast has more value to the animal than sodium selenite.

One reason why the bio-availability is higher for the seleno-proteins may be that this is the most common form of how selenium is naturally found in our feedstuffs. Unfortunately, a majority of the United States has selenium deficient soils so our feedstuffs tend to be low in this naturally occurring compound. This is why supplementation becomes so important.

When incorporating selenium yeast in a milk replacer mixture, we see good mixability but there is a chance parts of the selenium yeast ingredient will fall out of solution over a period of time(minutes). Because of this, it is always a good idea to make sure a milk replacer solution is fully mixed and agitated before feeding to assure each animal gets the same level of selenium in every feeding.
