- Vitamin E and Selenium are needed by poultry as they enhance fertility and hatchability. They combat free radical formation leading to a higher disease resistance by the birds
- They help in increasing the size of eggs laid
- Vitamin E ensures Vitamin E concentration in the egg yolk
- They increase the nutritional value of poultry meat and egg
- They prevent development of encephalomalacia/crazy chick disease
- They prevent the problems of impaired feed conversion
Deficiency of Vitamin E and Selenium is hardly detectable sub-clinically but leads to the following:
- Higher susceptibility to infectious diseases
- Retarded growth and impaired feed conversion
- Fatal aberrant development of the brain (encephalomalacia – crazy chick syndrome)
- Diminished fertility
- Reduced stress resistance
- Liver necrosis
- Disorders of the cellular membrane
