Effects of Selenium and Zinc on Biochemical Constituents and Quality of Indigenous Turkey Semen
- Norah Nonye Ogbu; Cosmas Chikezie Ogbu; S. O. C. Ugwu
- The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of organic selenium (Sel-yeast) and zinc (as ZnO) on the biochemical constituents and quality of indigenous turkey semen. Thirty-six (18 weeks old) local toms were used for the study. The birds were randomly assigned to nine treatments (T) of four birds each: T1 or control (no supplementation), T2 (0.2mg Se), T3 (0.3mg Se), T4 (110mg Zn), T5 (120mg Zn), T6 (0.2mg Se + 110mg Zn), T7 (0.3mg Se + 110mg Zn), T8 (0.2mg Se + 120mg Zn), and T9 (0.3mg Se + 120mg Zn) per kg of feed. They were fed the experimental diets for 12 weeks prior to semen collection. Semen was collected and analysed twice a week for eight weeks starting at 30 weeks of age. Data recorded included semen volume (SV), progressive motility (PM), percent normal (NS), abnormal (AS), live (LS), and dead (DS) sperm, sperm concentration (SC), total sperm in ejaculate (TSE), fructose (FC), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) concentrations. Toms supplemented with Se and Zn had significantly better semen quality and biochemical constituents than the control group. Selenium and Zn supplemented groups had equivalent semen trait values except SV, LS, FC, Na, and K which were higher in the 120mg Zn group than in the 0.2mg Se group. The combination of either 0.2 or 0.3mg Se with 120mg Zn was better than combination with 110mg Zn in improving semen traits. Also the combination of Se and Zn was superior to sole Se or Zn in improving semen traits. Significant (P
