Individual and Combined Effect of Zinc-L-Selenomethionine Complex with Mannan-Oligosaccharide on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Gut Development and Immune Response in Broilers

This study tested whether combining organic selenium and a prebiotic from yeast could improve broiler chicken health without using antibiotics. The researchers fed different groups of chickens either selenium alone, the prebiotic alone, or combinations of both at different levels over 35 days. They found that the combination of higher selenium levels with the prebiotic worked best for improving meat quality, immune system strength and gut health, making it a promising natural alternative to growth-promoting antibiotics in chicken farming.

Effects of Rhizopus oligosporus-Mediated Solid-State Fermentation on the Protein Profile and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity of Selenium-Biofortified Soybean Tempeh

Researchers developed a special tempeh (traditional soybean food) enriched with selenium using a fungus called Rhizopus oligosporus. The selenium-enriched tempeh had improved protein quality with more amino acids and demonstrated strong ability to slow down sugar absorption in the digestive system, similar to diabetes medications. This makes selenium-biofortified tempeh a promising natural functional food for managing blood sugar levels while providing essential selenium nutrients that many people lack.
