ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary selenium (se) supplementation
on the reproductive performance of sows, preweaning growth performance of their piglets,
haematological and antioxidant status of pigs. Twelve (12) crossbred sows (Landrace × Large
White) aged 1-2 years with an average body weight (BW) of 56.1 ± 5kg were randomly
allotted to four treatment groups of three sows per treatment in a completely randomised
design (CRD). The treatment groups comprised T0 (no Se supplementation), and T1, T2, T3
administered with 0.30 mg/Kg selenium‐methionine during second trimester of gestation,
third trimester of gestation and lactation respectively. Selenium supplementation significantly
(P0.05) among treatments during the second trimester of gestation. However, Se
supplementation significantly (P
