Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary supplementation of organic selenium (Se) and vitamin E for sows from 1st and 2nd parity order, without adiabatic cooling on physiological parameters, reproductive performance, milk composition, litter performance and blood concentrations of antioxidant enzymes. A total of 96 sows were allotted in a 4 × 2 completely factorial design, with 4 experimental groups and 2 parity orders (1st and 2nd). The experimental groups consisted of: ACCon—sows receiving adiabatic cooling and no dietary supplementation of organic Se and vitamin E; WACCon—sows without adiabatic cooling and no dietary supplementation of organic Se and vitamin E; WACSe—sows without adiabatic cooling with dietary supplementation of 0.3 mg/kg organic Se; WACSeE—sows without adiabatic cooling with dietary supplementation of 0.3 mg/kg organic Se and 90 UI of vitamin E. ACCon Sows had lower respiratory rate, rectal temperature and body surface temperature when compared to the others sows (p
