Abstract

A study on bone development under the influence of selenium and vitamin E supplementation was under taken in broiler chicken. Three levels of each selenium (0.15, 0.35, and 0.45 mg/kg diet) and vitamin E (50, 100, and 150 IU/ kg diet) were taken to formulate nine treatment groups in the form of broiler starter and finisher to evaluate the bone morphometry and bone mineralization of broiler chicken. The experiment was conducted in a high temperature humidity index (83.94) during the August-September period. The results revealed that bone morphometry parameters such as tibia bone proximal width, mid shaft width, distal width, and length were not influenced by dietary selenium and vitamin E supplementation. Similarly, the mean tibia bone weight (g), bone moisture (%), bone calcium (%), bone phosphorus (%), total ash (%), and bone Zn content (mg/kg) did not differ significantly due to selenium and vitamin E levels in the diet. Therefore, it can be concluded that the bone morphometry and bone mineralization in broiler chicken is not affected by different levels of selenium and vitamin E in the diet.
