Comparison of the effects of seleno-Lmethionine, seleno-DL-methionine, and selenized yeast on reproduction of mallards Comparison of the effects of seleno-Lmethionine, seleno-DL-methionine, and selenized yeast on reproduction of mallards

The toxicities of seleno-l-methionine, seleno-dl-methionine, and selenized yeast were compared. Ten pairs of mallards were fed a control diet and 15 pairs were fed diets containing 10 ppm selenium as seleno-dl-methionine, seleno-l-methionine, or selenized yeast. Hatching of fertile eggs was significantly lower for females fed 10 ppm selenium as seleno-dl-methionine (7.6%) and seleno-l...

Mercury poisoning in wildlife Mercury poisoning in wildlife

Mercury is an intriguing contaminant because it has complex chemical properties, a wide range of harmful effects, and an infinite persistence in the environment. Die-offs of wildlife due to mercury have occurred in many countries, especially before mercury seed dressings were banned. Today, most mercury problems are associated with aquatic environments. Methylmercury, the most toxic...
