Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary different selenium sources on reproductive performance of female minks and growth performance of their offspring. Eighty primiparous minks during copulation period were randomly divided into 4 groups with 20 replicates per group and 1 mink per replicate. Minks in the control group (CN group) were fed a basal diet (selenium content was 0.18 mg/kg), and others in experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 0.2 mg/kg (as selenium) sodium selenite (SS group), selenium yeast (SY group) and selenomethionine (Se-Met group), respectively. The experiment lasted for 130 days. The results showed as follows:1) the body weight at 21 days of age of baby minks in Se-Met group and SY group was significantly higher than that in CN group (P<0.05), and the body weight at 42 days of age of baby minks in Se-Met group and SY group was significantly higher than that in CN group and SS group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in litter size of female minks and litter weight, birth weight, body weight at 7 days of age and body weight at 35 days of age of baby minks among all groups (P>0.05). 2) The serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of female minks in SY group was significantly higher than that in CN group and SS group (P<0.05), and the serum reactive oxygen (ROS) content of female minks in Se-Met group was significantly lower than that in CN group and SS group (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in serum total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity and selenium, malondialdehyde (MDA) contents of female minks among all groups (P>0.05). 3) The serum selenium content of baby minks in SY group and SE-Met group was significantly higher than that in CN group and SS group (P<0.05), and the serum GSH-Px activity of baby minks in SY group and SE-Met group was significantly higher than that in CN group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum T-SOD activity and MDA, ROS contents of baby minks among all groups (P>0.05). 4) There were no significant differences in contents of triiodothyronine (T₃), thyroxine (T₄), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in serum of baby minks among all groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, dietary different selenium sources have no significant effect on reproductive performance of female minks; compared with sodium selenite, dietary adding selenium yeast and selenomethionine can increase the antioxidant capacity of female minks and their offspring, and promote the growth of baby minks aged from 21 to 42 days.
